Abstract | Objective: We aimed to examine changes in anti-varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibody titers and seroprotection status from before the first dose of vaccination to before 7 years old entering elementary school in children who received the routine two-dose varicella vaccination. Methods: Participants were 37 healthy children who received the routine two-dose varicella vaccination at our hospital. A total of five serum samples per child were collected immediately before and 4-6 weeks after each dose of the vaccination and in the year before entry to elementary school. We measured anti-VZV antibody titers by immune adherence hemagglutination (IAHA) method and glycoprotein-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA). A positive antibody titer and the seroprotection level were set as ≥2-fold and ≥16-fold, respectively, for IAHA antibody and as ≥50 units and ≥105 units, respectively, for gpELISA-IgG antibody. Results: The rates of IAHA antibody positivity in the five samples (in order of collection) were 0%, 65%, 38%, 100%, and 59%, and the rates of seroprotection were 0%, 43%, 8%, 100%, and 43%. The rates of gpELISA-IgG antibody positivity were 8%, 81%, 89%, 100%, and 100%, and the rates of seroprotection were 5%, 54%, 70%, 100%, and 89%. The mean IAHA antibody titer and mean gpELISA-IgG antibody titer before entering elementary school were both lower than the respective titers obtained after the second vaccination (both p < 0.01). Conclusions: Routine two-dose varicella vaccination leads to good antibody production, but titers of acquired antibodies decrease before children enter elementary school. |
