NoDoctor's answer:
Vaccination is the best way to prevent chickenpox. Currently, the varicella vaccine used in our country is the Varilix varicella live attenuated vaccine, which has been approved by the Ministry of Health. It belongs to a non-blood-derived live attenuated vaccine and has a good immune effect. After one vaccination, the seroconversion rate of antibodies in the body can reach 98.6% and can be maintained for 2 years. This vaccine can also prevent herpes zoster in adults. The Varilix varicella live attenuated vaccine can be administered to children at the age of 1 year, and it is given as an intradermal injection at the attachment site of the deltoid muscle on the outer arm. It must be administered separately and cannot be mixed with other vaccines in the same syringe.
