- Varicella (Chickenpox)
- Vaccine Safety
If a child gets breakthrough varicella infection, about 50 lesions, can s/he go to school?
Breakthrough varicella represents replication of wild varicella virus in a vaccinated person. Although most breakthrough disease is very mild, the child is contagious and activities should be restricted to the same extent as an unvaccinated person with varicella disease.
