BackgroundSince 2004 a single varicella vaccination for all infants aged 11–14 months has been recommended in Germany and since 2009 a second dose at the age of 15–23 months is recommended. Vaccination coverage after 24 months rose from 43% in 2006 to 87.5% in 2012. A mandatory notification system was introduced in the New Federal States (NFS) between 2002 and 2009 and nationwide in 2013. A national sentinel system has been in place since 2005.
