Applies to: olsalazine, Varivax (varicella virus vaccine)
GENERALLY AVOID: In pediatric patients, use of varicella virus vaccine during salicylate or salicylate-containing therapy may pose a theoretical risk of Reye's syndrome based on known association of the syndrome with salicylates and natural varicella infection. Children and adolescents receiving the vaccine in U.S. clinical studies were instructed not to use salicylates for six weeks after vaccination. There were no reports of Reye's syndrome during these studies.
MANAGEMENT: Vaccine recipients less than 18 years of age should avoid the use of salicylates for six weeks after immunization with varicella virus vaccine.
