Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of VARIVAX® (Varicella Virus Vaccine Live) manufactured with a new passage extension (PE34) process compared with the VARIVAX® 2016 commercial process. The primary hypotheses being tested are that antibody response rate and mean antibody titer induced at 6 weeks after a single vaccination by VARIVAX® PE34 Process are non-inferior to those induced by VARIVAX® 2016 commercial process, and that antibody response rate induced by VARIVAX® PE34 Process is acceptable.
