The purpose of these continuing post-licensure studies is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of VARIVAX® \[Varicella Virus Vaccine Live (Oka/Merck)\] and to assess the impact of the vaccine on the epidemiology of varicella and herpes zoster.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Parents/guardians of the cohort of children vaccinated between 12 and 23 months of age during a six-month period in 1995 (June-November) at KPMCP Northern California were interviewed by telephone at 6-month intervals to ascertain whether their child had varicella or herpes zoster in the 6 months prior to interview. Follow-up continued for a minimum of 14 years after vaccination.
