Current Vaccine

Dr May's letter raises the important question of the use of varicella vaccine in households with high-risk hosts such as neonates of varicella-susceptible mothers, varicella-susceptible pregnant women, HIV-positive individuals, or individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy. The manufacturer warns that vaccine recipients avoid such hosts. On the basis of low to absent levels of transmission of vaccine from healthy recipients to others, the Committee on Infectious Diseases feels this is a very unlikely occurrence. In the Weibel study, using a vaccine with ten times the current vaccine viral load, there were no symptomatic transmissions to unvaccinated siblings, and only 3/439 seroconversions attributed to vaccine transmission (although these actually may have been attributed to wild virus).1
