SKYVaricella Drug Interactions

1) No data are available on the concomitant administration of this varicella vaccine with other vaccines.
However, WHO recommends that varicella vaccine can be administered concomitantly with other vaccines included in the routine childhood immunization programme. Unless given together with other live viral vaccines (measles, MR, MMR), it should be administered at a minimum interval of 28 days.
2) After blood or plasma transfusion, or administration of immune globulin or varicella-zoster immune globulin, SKYVaricella should be vaccinated with the minimum interval (3 to 11 months), depending on the type and dose of blood or immunoglobulin.
3) SKYVaricella should not be given concomitantly with immune globulin including varicella-zoster immune globulin. Also, any immune globulin including varicella-zoster immune globulin should not be given for 2 months after administration of SKYVaricella unless its use outweighs the benefit of vaccination.
4) Since Reye syndrome has been reported after the use of salicylates in the case of wild-type varicella infection, the vaccine recipients avoid the use of salicylates for 6 weeks post-vaccination.
