Isikhathi eside, i-chickenpox yayingenakugwenywa futhi kwakuthandwa ukuthi izingane ziyithole zisencane kakhulu, kuyilapho zincane. Kusukela ngo-1998, abantu baseCanada naseFrance bangathola a umuthi wokugomela inkukhu (I-Varivax III® e-Canada, i-Varivax® e-France, i-Varilrix® e-France nase-Canada).

Ukugonyelwa inkukhu kufakwe ohlelweni lokugoma izingane eQuebec kusukela ngo-2006, kodwa hhayi eFrance. Ivamise ukunikezwa lapho usenezinyanga eziyi-12. Intsha kanye nabantu abadala abangakaze babe ne-chickenpox nabo bangayithola (i-contraindication iyasebenza). Isidingo kanye nokusebenza ngempumelelo komthamo we-booster akukasungulwa.

Ngokwezifundo zesayensi zaseMelika, ukugoma kunikeza isivikelo okungenani iminyaka eyi-15³. E-Japan, lapho umgomo wokuqala wokugomela inkukhu (elinye igama lomkhiqizo) wenziwe, ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ukuzivikela komzimba kusekhona eminyakeni engama-25 ngemva kokugoma. i izinga lokusebenza kahle Umuthi wokugomela i-varicella usukela ku-70% ukuya ku-90%. Futhi, kubantu abangagonyiwe ngokugcwele, umgomo usengase wehlise ubukhali bezimpawu. Ucwaningo olukhulu e-United States lubonisa ukuthi ukugoma kwaholela ekunciphiseni okukhulu kwezimo zenkukhu (kufika ku-90%), kanye nokwehla kwenani lokulaliswa esibhedlela nokufa okubangelwa yilesi sifo.¹.

Kukhona futhi umgomo ohlangene aqokwe I-RRO-Var (Priorix-Tetra®) enikeza isivikelo ezifweni ezithathelwanayo ezi-4 ngomjovo owodwa: i-chickenpox, isimungumungwane, i-rubella kanye nama-mumps.².

• Khuthaza izingane ukuthi zingazinwayi izinduna.
• Sika izinzipho futhi ugeze izandla zezingane njalo ukuze uvimbele ukuvela kwesinye isifo sesikhumba, uma zizinwaya.
• Abantu abasengozini enkulu yezinkinga, njengabesifazane abakhulelwe abangakaze babe nenkukhu kanye nabantu abanamasosha omzimba abuthakathaka, bangazuza gwema ukuthintana ngokomzimba nezingane ezithintekile kanye nabantu abane-shingles (ngesikhathi senhlekelele kuphela), njengoba laba bantu bengakwazi futhi ukudlulisa igciwane lenkukhu.
