Sarah K Daouk, Edwin Kamau, Kristina Adachi, Grace M Aldrovandi
Abstract
Varicella zoster virus reactivation after COVID-19 vaccination has been reported in older or immunocompromised adults. We report zoster meningitis from live-attenuated varicella vaccine reactivation in an immunocompetent child after COVID-19 vaccination. This type of case is rare; COVID-19 and varicella vaccines remain safe and effective for appropriate recipients in the pediatric population.
Keywords: COVID-19; COVID-19 vaccination; California; SARS-CoV-2; coronavirus disease; papulovesicular rash; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; vaccine-preventable diseases; varicella zoster virus; viruses; zoonoses; zoster meningitis.
