Abstract
⺠Universal varicella vaccination in Europe is offered only in few countries. ⺠In 2005, universal varicella vaccination was introduced in Veneto region, Italy. ⺠Trends in varicella incidence before and after vaccine introduction were examined. ⺠We observed a significant decline of mild and serious varicella cases. ⺠Using autoregressive modelling, we estimated the number of prevented cases.
