Abstract
This study confirmed that VZV infection occurs at a younger age in the Netherlands compared to other countries, which might explain the low disease burden due to varicella. Introduction of universal varicella vaccination is not a foregone conclusion in the Netherlands. Changes in migration and day care usage will influence the age-specific risk on varicella and should therefore be monitored. Further research might elucidate the sex differences in VZV specific GMC.
