About VARILRIX VACCINE

  • VARILRIX is a vaccine that protects against varicella (chickenpox). It contains a live but weakened (attenuated) strain of the varicella-zoster virus, which safely trains the immune system to defend against the real infection. Chickenpox causes an itchy blistering rash and fever and, although usually mild in healthy children, it can lead to serious complications — especially in infants, adolescents, adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immunity. VARILRIX is used to prevent chickenpox in healthy children (usually from 12 months of age) and in adolescents and adults who have not had the disease.

How VARILRIX VACCINE Works

  • The vaccine contains a weakened form of the varicella-zoster virus that cannot cause full-blown chickenpox in healthy people. When injected, it prompts the immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells against the virus. If the vaccinated person is later exposed to chickenpox, their immune system recognises the virus and responds quickly, preventing infection or making it much milder. Two doses provide the strongest and most reliable protection.

Side Effects of VARILRIX VACCINEArrow

Most side effects are mild and short-lived. Common: pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, and sometimes a low-grade fever. Fairly common: a mild chickenpox-like rash (a few small spots or blisters) appearing within a few weeks of vaccination as the immune system responds; tiredness or irritability. Serious (rare): high fever, a more extensive rash, or — very rarely — allergic reactions. Seek medical attention for signs of a severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of the face/throat, widespread hives) after vaccination.

How to store VARILRIX VACCINE?Arrow

  • Keep VARILRIX INJ 0.5ML away from the reach of children and pets.
  • Store VARILRIX INJ 0.5ML in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Do not freeze.

FAQs

When and how is VARILRIX given?Arrow

It is given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneously), usually in the upper arm, by a doctor or nurse. Healthy children typically receive two doses — the first around 12–15 months and the second later in childhood — while adolescents and adults receive two doses 4–8 weeks apart. Your doctor will confirm the schedule.

Who should not receive it?Arrow

It should not be given to pregnant women, people with significantly weakened immune systems (for example due to certain cancers, treatments, or immune deficiencies), those with a severe allergy to a vaccine component (such as neomycin or gelatin) or to a previous dose, or anyone with a moderate-to-severe acute illness with fever (postpone until recovered). Tell the doctor about any illness, allergy, or recent blood/immunoglobulin treatment.

Can the vaccine give my child chickenpox?Arrow

No — the virus is weakened and cannot cause true chickenpox in healthy people. A small number of vaccinated people develop a few mild spots afterwards, which is a normal immune response and far milder than the actual disease.

What precautions apply around pregnancy?Arrow

Because it is a live vaccine, women should avoid becoming pregnant for at least one month after each dose, and pregnant women should not be vaccinated until after delivery. Discuss timing with your doctor if you are planning pregnancy.

Are there other things to avoid after vaccination?Arrow

Avoid giving aspirin or other salicylates to children for about 6 weeks after vaccination (due to a rare risk of Reye's syndrome). Certain antiviral medicines (aciclovir and similar) may need to be paused around vaccination — tell your doctor about all medicines the person is taking.
