RP is a 29 yo male who visits your pharmacy seeking a Varicella vaccine because he is planning to travel abroad, and his blood tests show he is not immune. He has no known allergies, is not currently ill, and has no contraindications to vaccines. He reports taking no chronic medications but consumes alcohol socially and occasionally uses e-cigarettes. His vaccine history includes all childhood vaccines through age 6, Tdap 5 years ago, an mRNA COVID-19 booster 6 months ago, and a recent flu shot this season. When would be the most appropriate time to administer the Varicella vaccine to RP?
Today
