Abstract

Objective To investigate the varicella zoster immunization status and antibody positive rate of new recruits in a certain unit, and to provide epidemiological data for the vaccine prevention and control policy of military personnel. Methods The basic information of 903 new recruits collected and analyzed by cluster sampling method. Venous blood was collected for serum separation and detected by varicella-herpes zoster virus (VZV) IgG antibody ELISA kit. Results Among the 903 enlisted soldiers, 198 had been contracted by chickenpox and 20 had been contracted by herpes zoster. Out of 903 serum samples, 617 VZV IgG antibody samples were detected, with a positive rate of 68.33%. Conclusions The positive rate of VZV IgG antibody in new recruits is low, suggesting that strengthening varicella-vaccination is important for the prevention and control of varicella-transmission in military units.
