[quote=Anonymous]Op, CDC has a hotline that you can discuss vaccines and school systems have very clear vaccination requirements. FCPS accepts results of high titer for Varicella and MMR in lieu of booster shots because the immunity provided by these vaccines are thought to be lifelong. High titers for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella show lifelong immunity. But Varicella vaccine is new and lifelong effectiveness is an educated estimate based on clinical studies and effectiveness of live vaccines, such as MMR. So far the estimate is 10 to 20 years. Without the second dose for Varicella, you may required to demonstrate existing immunity periodically; in other words, blood tests may be required as frequently as every year unless there was a history of illness.
