An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof and prevents melting snow (water) from draining off the roof. The water that backs up behind the dam can leak into a home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation, and other areas.
VARIVAX is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of varicella in individuals 12 months of age or older. Each dose is approximately 0.5 mL after reconstitution and is administered by subcutaneous injection.
In Australia, there was a 69% decline in varicella hospitalisations in children aged 1.5â4 years in the first 2.5 years following the inclusion of varicella vaccine on the NIP in late 2005. Declines have also been observed in hospitalisation rates in other age groups and in general practice consultations.
