How should I use Varivax?

This vaccine is injected under the skin. It is given by a health care provider.
A copy of Vaccine Information Statements will be given before each vaccination. Be sure to read this information carefully each time. This sheet may change often.
Talk to your health care provider about the use of this vaccine in children. While it may be given to children as young as 12 months of age for selected conditions, precautions do apply.

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of Varivax contact a poison control center or emergency room at once. NOTE: Varivax is only for you. Do not share Varivax with others.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
