Early Release - Zoster Meningitis in an Immunocompetent Child after COVID-19 Vaccination, California, USA - Volume 28, Number 7—July 2022 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC
Abstract
Varicella zoster virus reactivation after COVID-19 vaccination has been reported in older or immunocompromised adults. We report zoster meningitis from live-attenuated varicella vaccine reactivation in an immunocompetent child after COVID-19 vaccination. This type of case is rare; COVID-19 and varicella vaccines remain safe and effective for appropriate recipients in the pediatric population.
