Testing using commercial kits for IgM antibody is not recommended since available methods lack sensitivity and specificity; false-positive IgM results are common in the presence of high IgG levels. The seroconversion rate for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella after the initial vaccination was 88%, 6%, 78%, and 16%, respectively. The incubation period is 14 to 16 days after exposure, with a range of 10 to 21 days. Herpes zoster.

Worldwide, since the varicella vaccine programs started, only 11 healthy vaccinated people (6 with varicella-like rash and 5 with herpes zoster postvaccination) have been documented as spreading vaccine virus to others. There is evidence to suggest that the latex agglutination method, another method to test for serologic IgG, may give false-positive results that could mistakenly categorize a susceptible person as immune.
