Abstract
Although the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases presented an excellent review on the use of varicella vaccine in children, we are concerned about their recommendation to give the vaccine to children of pregnant women. The Committee recommends, "A pregnant mother or other household member is not a contraindication for vaccination of the child." In contrast, the manufacturer gives the following precaution: "Vaccine recipients should avoid close association with susceptible high-risk individuals (eg, newborns, pregnant women, and immunocompromised persons."
