Article Synopsis
- Current practices lean towards testing teens for chickenpox immunity instead of automatically vaccinating those without a history of the illness.
- Research in Greece shows that a significant number of adolescents (21.5%) are still at risk for chickenpox.
- The study found that negative histories of chickenpox are reliable for kids with social or unknown exposure for vaccination purposes, but not for those with household exposure, indicating that testing should be done before vaccination in that group.*
