Since a routine varicella vaccination program was started in 2004, vaccinated children without medically attended varicella were identified between 2004 and 2006, and followed-up for a diagnosis of HZ until December 2008.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of 27\u2009517 children with medically attended varicella, 428 developed HZ.

The incidence of HZ was 93.3 per 100\u2009000 person-years. The mean duration from varicella to HZ was 4.12 years. Children diagnosed with varicella at aged &amp;lt;2 years had a higher incidence (P &amp;lt; .001) and shorter duration (P = .04) than those diagnosed aged \u22672 years. Children diagnosed with varicella aged \u22652 but &amp;lt;8 years had a significantly increased incidence of HZ after than before the vaccination program (relative risk = 1.85 at 3 years of follow-up, P = .03). Children with varicella infections had a significantly greater risk of HZ than vaccinated children without a history of varicella (relative risk = 2.31 at 4 years of follow-up, P &amp;lt; .001).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study demonstrates the population-based epidemiologic characteristics of pediatric HZ among those who contracted varicella.
