Breakthrough varicella infection in a healthcare worker despite immunity after varicella vaccination.

R Wurtz1, I J Check.   

Abstract

Although varicella vaccination is recommended for varicella-susceptible healthcare workers (HCWs), breakthrough infection after vaccination is not unusual, especially following household exposures. We report breakthrough varicella in a vaccinated HCW and review the data on breakthrough infection and concerns for the healthcare setting.
