Article Body:
What is chickenpox vaccine?
The chickenpox vaccine in Hong Kong is a deactivated vaccine.The deactivated vaccine contains weakened live viruses (these viruses can only grow to a limited extent in the body), causing the body to manifest as actual disease.When weakened pathogens are injected into the body, the antigens in them can stimulate the immune system to respond, and when the immune system discovers these viruses, it will kill the virus.
Therefore, those who are vaccinated with chickenpox can significantly reduce the chance of getting infected with chickenpox. Even though they may still be infected with chickenpox after vaccination (called "breakthrough infection"), the subsequent symptoms are usually mild or less typical, and the number of blisters is also small. The rash is usually mainly maculopapular rather than blisters, and the course of the disease is usually shorter than those who have not been vaccinated.
