Patients in the high-risk group after vaccination are encouraged to periodically determine the level of antibodies against chickenpox in order to identify individuals who are recommended for revaccination.

The solvent contained in the syringe or in the ampoule should be transferred to a vial of lyophilized vaccine. Shake the mixture until completely dissolved, and then transfer the resulting solution back to the syringe. Due to the fact that slight fluctuations in pH are possible, the color of the reconstituted vaccine can vary from pink to red (the quality of the vaccine is not affected). Before the introduction, it should be ensured that there are no foreign particles in the solution or changes in physical characteristics (if available, the vaccine is not suitable for use). Carry out the treatment of the injection site with alcohol (or other substance used for disinfection), wait for its evaporation, because in contact with such compounds inactivation of the vaccine virus may occur, and introduce.
