Introduction to Chickenpox Vaccine Market
Varicella vaccine also known as chickenpox vaccine is the vaccine which provides protection against chickenpox. It has been notified that, one dose of vaccine prevents 95% of moderate disease and 100% of several diseases. Two doses of vaccine are more effective than one. If it is given to those who are not immune within five days of exposure to chickenpox, it prevents most cases of diseases. Vaccinating a large population means protecting even those who are not vaccinated. It is given by injection under the skin.
The disease has an incubation period of 10-21 days and is highly contagious. Varicella is highly contagious through physical contact, two days prior when the symptom appears. Mostly, it is a mild disorder in childhood but tends to be more severe in adults. It may be fatal specifically in neonates and in immunocompromised patients. There might be some minor side effects of the vaccine such as pain at the site of injection, rash, fever, sore arm from the shot and stiffness in joints. Several side effects are rare in nature and occurs mostly to the people who have poor immune system. The side effects are more likely to occur after the first dose than after the second.
Following infection, the virus remains latent in neural ganglia, and upon subsequent reactivation VZV may cause zoster (shingles), a disease mainly affecting the elderly and immunocompromised persons. The individual cases can be prevented or modified by varicella-zoster immune globulin or be treated with antiviral drugs, control of varicella can be achieved only by widespread vaccination.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends routine vaccination only if a country can keep more than 80% of the people vaccinated. If only 20% to 80% of people are vaccinated, it is possible that more people will get the disease at an older age and outcomes may worsen.
