About Varivax

prescription bottle
VARICELLA VACCINE reduces the risk of varicella (chickenpox). It does not treat chickenpox. It is still possible to get chickenpox after receiving this vaccine, but the symptoms may be less severe or not last as long. It works by helping your immune system learn how to fight off a future infection.

With the Patient Assistance Program from Merck, you can receive your medication at no cost.
