Composition: Varicella Vaccine
Strength: 0.5 ml 1 dose

Description:

Variped is a live attenuated vaccine used to protect against varicella (commonly known as chickenpox), a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The vaccine helps in developing immunity without causing the full-blown illness.
Variped contains a weakened form of the varicella virus. After injection, it stimulates the immune system to produce protective antibodies, preparing the body to fight off the actual virus if exposed later.
