Changes in Epidemiological Characteristics of Varicella and Breakthrough Cases in Ningbo, China, From 2010 to 2023: Surveillance Study
The significant shifts in varicella epidemiology between 2010 and 2023 highlight the importance of continuous monitoring and proactive immunization adjustments. We recommend enhanced varicella surveillance focusing on adult populations, and a targeted increase in 2-dose vaccine coverage, particularly in high-risk environments such as high schools and universities.
