 The Latin American Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, SLIP, and the America's Health Foundation, AHF, have developed a position paper on varicella prevention in Latin America and Caribbean countries, LAC, emphasizing the need to include the varicella vaccine in national immunization programs and evaluate its impact on disease burden. A systematic review was conducted of medical evidence, advances made by prevention programs, available vaccines, their immunogenicity, efficacy, effectiveness, safety, and national varicella prevention vaccination programs impact on epidemiology. Expert commentary suggests that varicella is a vaccine-preventable infectious disease with lower complication rates compared to measles and pertusses, and the incorporation of a two-dose varicella vaccine in national immunization schedules would greatly benefit children's health in LAC.
