What is the storage requirement for Varivax vaccine?

  1. Store in freezer

  2. Store in refrigerator

  3. Store at room temperature

  4. No special storage requirement

The correct answer is: Store in freezer

The Varivax vaccine, also known as the chickenpox vaccine, needs to be stored in a freezer in order to maintain its potency and effectiveness. Storing it in a refrigerator may cause the vaccine to become less effective over time. Storing it at room temperature can also cause the vaccine to degrade. Therefore, the only appropriate option for storing the Varivax vaccine is in a freezer. There is a special storage requirement for Varivax vaccine because it needs to be kept at a very specific temperature range. Choosing any of the other options would risk the effectiveness of the vaccine.
