Policymakers may have a concern that a long time interval between two doses, partial efficacy and potential waning after the first dose of varicella vaccination would reduce the impact of a universal childhood varicella immunization program. The objective of this study is to determine the potential impact and relative weight of 2 key factors: (1) coverage and (2) vaccine efficacy (VE) of the first dose of varicella vaccination (VE-D1) in the context of long term interval between two doses on varicella epidemiology in Italy.

Abstract

Policymakers may have a concern that a long time interval between two doses, partial efficacy and potential waning after the first dose of varicella vaccination would reduce the impact of a universal childhood varicella immunization program. The objective of this study is to determine the potential impact and relative weight of 2 key factors: (1) coverage and (2) vaccine efficacy (VE) of the first dose of varicella vaccination (VE-D1) in the context of long term interval between two doses on varicella epidemiology in Italy.
