Varicella (Chicken Pox)

Chicken pox (varicella) is a vaccine-preventable disease. Chicken pox can be a serious and even life threatening illness in certain individuals. Several hospitals and clinical agencies with whom EMTS is affiliated with for clinical experience now require that we furnish documentation of a history of chicken pox immunity.

DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU HAVE HAD CHICKEN POX IN THE PAST OR NOT.

Option 1) Provide Two (2) separate doses of Varicella vaccination.

*Note: Varicella vaccines are given a minimum of 30 days apart. As long as student has documentation of receiving 2 shots at this point in their life they are compliant. *If the student has only completed 1 vaccination they must complete the series and receive the 2nd shot for a total of 2 doses. * If the student has only proof of 1 vaccination they must complete the series and receive the 2nd shot for a total of 2 doses.

Option 2) If student has never received any Varicella vaccinations or has no proof of any Varicella vaccinations in the past the student may provide a titer lab report showing immunity.
