  • Title: [Combined vaccine against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella and recommendations for varicella immunization in Italy?].
    Author: Papa R, Spinelli R, Zaratti L, Franco E.
    Journal: Ig Sanita Pubbl; 2007; 63(6):715-22. PubMed ID: 18216886.
    Abstract:
    In Italy, the whole population is affected by chickenpox especially in infancy with an important burden of disease. Vaccination is recommended for susceptible adolescents and adults, but the offer is different in different regions. The availability of a combined vaccine against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella could allow an easier introduction of VZV prophylaxis in infants immunization schedules without increasing the number of injections and of accesses to Health Services.
