Live attenuated varicella-zoster virus (VZV), derived from the Oka strain, is the active component of varicella (chickenpox) vaccines and the older live zoster vaccine (Zostavax), inducing long-lasting VZV-specific cellular and humoral immunity. The attenuated virus replicates to a limited extent in vaccinated individuals, producing immunity without causing typical chickenpox disease. It is used for primary prevention of varicella in children and for shingles prevention in older adults, though immunocompromised patients require caution.
