Immune Senescence Factors Associated with the Immunogenicity of a Live Attenuated Zoster Vaccine (ZV) in Older Adults

BACKGROUND: ZV confers protection against herpes zoster by increasing the cell-mediated immunity (CMI) to varicella-zoster virus (VZV). ZV immunogenicity and protection decrease with increasing age. We investigated effects of age and immune senescence on ZV immunogenicity. METHODS: 399 adults ≥50 ye...
