Dear Mbak Linda,
Kalau anak sudah pernah kena cacar air, maka gak perlu divaksin cacar air
lagi. Karena kekebalan yg didapat jauh lebih imun dari vaksin cacar air
itu sendiri.
Saya drop artikel dari Mayoclinic ya.
Semoga membantu,
Lulu

Chickenpox
Prevention
The chickenpox (varicella) vaccine is the best way to prevent chickenpox.
Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate
that the vaccine provides complete protection from the virus for 80
percent to 90 percent of people who receive it. When the vaccine doesn't
provide complete protection, it significantly lessens the severity of the
disease.
The chickenpox vaccine (Varivax) is recommended for:
- Young children. In the United States, children receive one dose of the
varicella vaccine between 12 and 18 months of age, as part of a routine
immunization schedule.
- Unvaccinated older children. Children between 19 months and 13 years of
age who haven't had chickenpox should also receive one dose of the
vaccine.
- Unvaccinated adults who've never had chickenpox but are at high risk of
exposure. This includes health care workers, teachers, child-care
employees, international travelers, adults who live with young children
and all women of childbearing age. Adults and children older than 13
who've never had chickenpox or been vaccinated usually receive two doses
of the vaccine, four to eight weeks apart.
If you don't remember whether you've had chickenpox or the vaccine, a
blood test can determine your immunity.
If you've had chickenpox, you don't need the vaccine. A case of the
chickenpox usually makes a person immune to the virus for life. It's
possible to get chickenpox more than once, but it's not common.
The vaccine isn't approved for:
- Pregnant women
- People with weakened immunity
- People who are allergic to gelatin or the antibiotic neomycin
- Talk to your doctor if you're unsure about your need for the vaccine. If
you're planning on becoming pregnant, consult with your doctor to make
sure you're up-to-date on your vaccinations before conceiving a child.
Is it safe and effective?
Parents typically wonder whether vaccines are safe. Since it became
available, this vaccine has been given to millions of people. Studies
continue to show the vaccine to be safe and effective. Side effects are
generally mild and include redness, soreness, swelling and, rarely, small
bumps at the site of the shot.
Experts believe that protection from the chickenpox vaccine will last at
least 10 to 20 years and perhaps longer, but it's too early to tell
whether a booster shot may be necessary later in life. Some vaccines
require booster doses. Time and study will tell if Varivax is one of them.
