Chicken pox vaccine reduces shingles risk in kids -- study of 172,000 kids used EHRs
A new Kaiser Permanente study found the chicken pox vaccine also reduces the risk of shingles among children. The study used electronic health records to identify and follow 172,000 vaccinated children for two-plus years and found that herpes zoster, known as shingles in adults, is very rare among children who have been vaccinated for chicken pox. This is the largest study of its kind.
