This Saturday, SINOVAC BIOTECH LTD., in collaboration with the China Association for Vaccines, will host an academic conference focused on the topic of "Strategic Prevention and Control of Varicella and Vaccine Application." We are thrilled to welcome esteemed experts from China, the Philippines, Turkey, Chile, Indonesia, and Belarus to share their experiences and insights on varicella prevention and control. In 2022, SINOVAC BIOTECH LTD.'s varicella vaccine received World Health Organization prequalification, and in 2024, it was approved by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for use in adolescents and adults aged 13 and older. With this expansion of the approved age range, our vaccine is set to enhance varicella prevention and control, allowing more individuals to access high-quality, internationally recognized varicella vaccines. According to the World Health Organization, varicella (commonly known as chickenpox) is an acute, highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a member of the herpesvirus family. There is only one serotype of VZV, with humans serving as the sole reservoir. Following the initial infection, the virus can remain dormant in neural ganglia and may reactivate in about 10-20% of cases, leading to herpes zoster (shingles), typically in individuals over 50 years of age or those who are immunocompromised. Additionally, a vaccine with a higher concentration of the virus has been developed for shingles prevention in the elderly. We look forward to an engaging and informative conference! #Varicella #Vaccines #PublicHealth #SINOVAC
