Abstract：
There has been a reticence to introduce universal varicella zoster virus (VZV) vaccines in the UK because of a theoretical concern of increased herpes zoster infections. However, this has not been borne out in real-world data. Here, I argue that, in reality, many parents are vaccinating their children privately and, thus, we do not know the degree of inequity that this creates. The fairest option going forward is to introduce universal VZV vaccination in the UK.
摘要：
由于理论上对带状疱疹感染增加的担忧，在英国一直不愿引入通用水痘带状疱疹病毒（VZV）疫苗。然而,这并没有在现实世界的数据中得到证实。这里,我认为，在现实中,许多父母私下给孩子接种疫苗，因此，我们不知道这造成的不平等程度。未来最公平的选择是在英国引入普遍的VZV疫苗接种。
