The Hawaii Department of Health today said it is investigating an outbreak of chickenpox at Kilauea Elementary School on Kauai.

To date, five cases have been reported among four students and one household member.

Health officials said none of the individuals were vaccinated against chickenpox, also known as varicella. They are recommending that community members get vaccinated against chickenpox if they have not done so, and if they have not previously had the disease.

Those in close contact with one of the five individuals, meanwhile, should seek medical advice on protection options, Hawaii health officials said.​
