Article Synopsis
- Varicella infections are a significant risk for organ transplant recipients, prompting a study on the safety and effectiveness of the OMVV vaccine in these patients.
- The research involved 21 seronegative children who received a two-dose OMVV before transplantation, with antibody levels monitored at various stages, showing that humoral responses were sustained up to two years post-transplant.
- Results indicated no serious adverse events linked to the vaccine and demonstrated that the vaccination effectively maintained seroprotection against varicella infections in most subjects after transplantation.
