The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has issued its recommendations for preventing varicella.
The recommendations, published as a supplement to MMWR, include the following highlights:
• Children should receive two doses of the vaccine, one between 12 and 15 months of age, and the other between the ages of 4 and 6.
• Healthy adults and adolescents without evidence of immunity should receive two doses, 4 to 8 weeks apart.
• A second dose is recommended for all those who have received only a single previous dose.
Full recommendations are available on the CDC's website.
