What is Varivax?

Varivax is a vaccine that is used to help prevent varicella virus infection (commonly known as chickenpox). Chickenpox is an extremely contagious infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Both kids and adults can become infected with this virus. Signs of chickenpox is a super-itchy skin rash with red blisters. Over the course of several days, the blisters pop and start to leak. Chickenpox is spread from person to person through the air, or by coming into contact with the fluid from a chickenpox blister.

The virus in prescription drugs contains a live, weakened (attenuated) version of the varicella virus and therefore has a decreased ability to cause illness. Varivax exposes the body to a small dose of the virus or a protein from the virus, which causes the body to develop immunity to the disease. It should be noted that Varivax will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body.

If you have an infection or any illness with fever, active tuberculosis that is not being treated, a weak immune system caused by disease (such as cancer, HIV, or AIDS), or by receiving certain medicines such as steroids, chemotherapy, or radiation, or if you are pregnant then you should not use Varivax.

What are the side effects of Varivax?

After being injected with Varivax you may experience redness, itching, tenderness, swelling, bruising, or a lump where the shot was given, low fever, or mild skin rash that looks like chickenpox (can occur up to 1 month after vaccination).

Call your healthcare provider immediately if you experience high fever, seizure, cough, pain or tight feeling in your chest, breathing problems; or easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness.

There are also other side effects, not listed here, that you may experience after your Varivax vaccine. Speak to your doctor for medical advice on other possible side effects and how to manage them.
