Advances in Virology, 2013•hindawi.comVaricella-zoster virus (VZV) vaccines induce immunity against childhood chickenpox and
against shingles in older adults. The safety, efficacy, and widespread use of VZV vaccines
suggest that they may also be effective as recombinant vaccines against other infectious
diseases that affect the young and the elderly. The generation of recombinant VZV vaccines
and their evaluation in animal models are reviewed. The potential advantages and
limitations of recombinant VZV vaccines are addressed.
