  Recommended for children 2 years old to start vaccination. Children 1-12 years old receive a dose (0.5ml); interval 6-10 weeks. Children and adults are injected subcutaneously in the upper arm, never intravenously. The vaccine should be reconstituted with the diluent provided and should be completely dissolved. The inoculation should be done after the disinfectant has completely evaporated.

  For healthy people, the attenuated varicella vaccine can be given at the same time as other live attenuated vaccines or inactivated vaccines; for immunodeficiency patients and other high-risk groups, the attenuated varicella vaccine can be given at the same time as other inactivated vaccines . But all need to be inoculated in different parts, and can not be mixed in the syringe. If the attenuated varicella vaccine cannot be vaccinated at the same time as the measles vaccine, the interval between vaccination should be at least 1 month.

  Varicella Vaccine is a highly active attenuated vaccine, suitable for healthy children vaccinated from one year old to under 12 years old, as long as one dose is given; two doses are required to be vaccinated over 12 years old (separated Two to four weeks), after the injection is completed, the body can produce antibodies against chickenpox in about two weeks, and its protection can last for more than ten years.
