Refusal of shingles vaccine: Implications for public health
Wed, 16 May 2012 08:07:35 +0100 | Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
To the Editor: While the varicella-zoster virus (VZV; chickenpox) vaccine (Varivax) is widely utilized and has produced a dramatic decline in VZV-related morbidity and mortality, the herpes zoster virus (HZV) (shingles) vaccine (Zostavax) is used in only 2% to 7% of the target population over 50 years of age in the United States. Research has shown that the HZV vaccine is effective. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 38,546 patients 60 years of age or older demonstrated a reduction of 51.3% (P < .001) in the incidence of HZ. Furthermore, those who did develop HZ after receiving the vaccine benefited from a 66.5% (P < .001) decrease in the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Cost-effectiveness is more difficult to prove. Our society generally finds it acce...

Epidemiological characteristics and societal burden of varicella zoster virus in the Netherlands
Thu, 10 May 2012 04:00:00 +0100 | BMC Infectious Diseases
Conclusions: For varicella the highest incidence of GP-consultations was found in 1-4 year-olds, for herpes zoster in the >65 years olds. The occurrence of complications was not age-dependent but varies per complication. When estimating incidence of VZV-related diseases in primary care, based on diagnostic codes only, one should be aware of a gross underestimation of the incidence. Our analysis may have important implications for the outcomes of upcoming cost-effectiveness analyses on VZV vaccination. (Source: BMC Infectious Diseases)
