Examination of the incidence of varicella in Azerbaijan over a 25-year period from 2000 to 2024 indicates that increasing vaccination coverage and enhancing surveillance systems are essential for controlling varicella outbreaks and reducing disease burden in Azerbaijan.
Abstract
Varicella (chickenpox) remains a significant public health issue worldwide, especially in countries with incomplete vaccination coverage. This study examines the incidence of varicella in Azerbaijan over a 25-year period from 2000 to 2024. The data show an overall increasing trend in reported cases, with notable peaks in 2022 and 2023, reaching incidence rates of 412.4 and 281.7 per 100,000 people, respectively. A temporary decrease in cases was seen in 2020, likely due to public health measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. These fluctuations highlight the changing nature of varicella transmission and emphasize the urgent need for comprehensive immunization strategies. The findings indicate that increasing vaccination coverage and enhancing surveillance systems are essential for controlling varicella outbreaks and reducing disease burden in Azerbaijan. This study offers valuable epidemiological insights that can guide public health policies and support improved prevention and management of varicella in the region.
Background
Chickenpox (varicella) is a highly contagious and self-limiting disease in children. However, complications and hospitalizations may occur. In Bahrain, the varicella vaccine was introduced into the routine childhood immunization schedule in May 2015. However, published data describing the epidemiological pat...
