#varicella #PEP Antivirals: If VariZIG is unavailable or for high-risk individuals not eligible for it, oral acyclovir or valacyclovir can be considered.
Observation: Monitor exposed, unvaccinated individuals for signs of chickenpox for up to 21-28 days

#varicella #PEP Unvaccinated, susceptible people exposed to varicella should receive varicella vaccine within 3–5 days to prevent or lessen disease severity
-For high-risk individuals (pregnant, immunocompromised, newborns), VariZIG is recommended up to 10 days post-exposure

I'm aware, but not really the point of this. My point is there are not enough #pediatric #hospital beds or staff at any level (doctors, APPs, nurses) to handle thousands of completely preventable #measles, #mumps #rubella #varicella #polio cases etc flooding pediatric ICUs

Scientists Find That This Common Vaccine For People 50+ May Actually Prevent And Slow Dementia — Women’s Health A growing body of research suggests that it may have protective effects that extend to other diseases.

I'm of #chickenpox "party" era. My mom made sure ALL of us got sick.

I developed #shingles early - in my mid-30s - and now have neuropathy.

I thought I didn't need the #vaccine.

I got the #Shingrix series last year.

Looks like it protected me in some unexpected ways. 👍🏼
