Blood vaccination can protect from this unpleasant illness of both children and adults. For people of any age, the same vaccines are used.
In Russia, only two vaccines against chickenpox are registered - this Varilricks and Okavax. The first vaccine has been developed and produced in Japan, the second in France.
How much does a chickenpox vaccine cost? The price of both vaccinations is approximately the same. Now (in the summer of 2020) the cost of both vaccinations from chickenpox ranges from 2,200 to 4,500 rubles, in pharmacies they are cheaper, in paid clinics, where the vaccination procedure is included in the price is more expensive.
Free vaccination against chickenpox
The position of the state is now such that the vaccination against chickenpox is not mandatory, and is not included in the national vaccination calendar. This means that the state does not allocate enough funds to carry out free vaccination to all citizens. In the brain over the past two years, plans have been voiced that the vaccination against chickenpox will be provided for everyone for free, but so far this has not happened.
The state identifies a limited amount of vaccine from chickenpox, and it is distributed between medical institutions. The wording of the one who has the right to free vaccination is as follows: "vaccination is carried out by persons belonging to the risk group."
But at the same time, the vaccination against chickenpox was included in the list of additional vaccinations. And this means that it can be done at your own expense by buying a vaccine in a pharmacy. In practice, the situation with paid vaccines is such that some health workers agree to make vaccinations purchased in a pharmacy, and some do not. In the same city, some municipal clinics work with paid vaccinations and private pharmacies, while others are afraid to do it. Therefore, the possibility of making a paid vaccination against chickenpox in city clinics needs to be agreed in advance, and the price for it will be a pharmacy,
Please note that before buying a vaccine from chickenpox, you must definitely agree on who does this vaccine. Vaccines usually have very rigid restrictions on the storage temperature. And buying a vaccine in advance and neglect the recommendations of manufacturers.
Judging by the reviews, free vaccination from chickenpox, sometimes in medical institutions, and sometimes not. Often those who want to get involved from chickenpox are offered to wait a while while free vaccination appears. If a free vaccination appears, it is better not to miss the opportunity and vaccinated.
Which vaccination against chickenpox is better - Okavax or Varilerix?
Both of these vaccinations from chickenpox were created in Japan, in the same pharmacological company, and now the rights to produce both vaccines are transferred to European countries. Therefore, it is difficult to say which vaccination against chickenpox is more effective.
The first of these vaccines was Okavax, It was developed back in the 70s of the last century. In the Soviet Union, mass vaccination against chickenpox was carried out in the nineties. In favor of Okavax, you can use the argument that this vaccine is well tested.
According to the results of research, people who were vaccinated by Okavax 20 years ago still preserve immunity. Probably, people remain immune to the disease much longer.
Carricks, In fact, it is a descendant Okavax. This vaccine has also been produced for a long time (about 10 years). There is another similar vaccine called Varivax, but in Russia it is not yet certified.
In the form of the release of Okawax and Varilricks, they differ slightly from each other:
- In packaging with vaccine Okavax You will find two bottles. In one of them, a dry powder, in which the virus is located, in the second there is a solution for diluting the powder.
- In a pack in Carricks There is also a powder containing a sleeping virus of chickenpox, a solution for diluting powder and a syringe.
Does chickenpox vaccine guarantee that you will not get sick?
Unfortunately, chickenpox vaccination does not provide absolute protection. According to research, immunity is produced in 90 percent of vaccinated people. In this regard, the opinion appeared that it is desirable to carry out revaccination. That is, do not one, but two vaccinations from chickenpox. The manufacturers themselves do not give any recommendations on this subject.
The body's reaction to vaccination against chickenpox
Both vaccines, Okawax and Varilricks, are alive. This means that they contain the weakened Varicella Zoster virus (varicella-zoster).
It is believed that such vaccines cause a more serious reaction of the body than inactivated vaccines, which contain already killed viruses. The degree of painful reactions from the body depends on the amount of the virus in the vaccine.
- Blood vaccination is easily tolerated compared to some other vaccinations. A typical reaction is redness and swelling at the injection site.
- Sometimes a few weeks after immunization, minor rashes appear, without increasing temperature. They pass on their own after 2-3 days, and do not require treatment.
Is it possible to get a chickenpox, from the fact that they vaccinated?
For people who do not suffer from severe immunodeficiency, this probability is zero. Blood vaccination causes a disease in people suffering from leukemia, lymphoma or other serious diseases that cause acute immunodeficiency.
We know only one case when the children fell ill with chickenpox after vaccination. But the cause of the situation was the inattention of a medical worker. The nurse vaccinated, and then forgot that she had already done her to these children, and did again.
Contraindications for jurk from chickenpox
- Blood vaccination is not recommended to introduce pregnant women into the body. The fact is that if a pregnant woman gets chickenpox, then this can harm the fetus. If the girl was not sick with chickenpox, then she is advised to take a vaccine at least three months before the planned pregnancy.
- Blood vaccination is not recommended for children up to a year. They, like the elderly, endure the disease heavily. In addition, it is likely that the baby has antibodies received from the mother’s body.
- It is not recommended to vaccinate persons with a temperature above 37.5 and symptoms of SARS, as well as those who have surgery for a month before or after it.
- Do not vaccinate from chickenpox and people receiving immunosuppressants.
Does the chickenpox save after contact with the patient?
Interestingly, vaccination against chickenpox will help even those who have already contacted the patient and managed to become infected.
After contact with a sick chickenpox, an emergency vaccination must be done during 72 hours (or three days). The relative efficiency of vaccination is preserved and if you do it for 96 hours (4 days) after infection.
