Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Determine in vitro changes in T cell proliferation preceding and following vaccination with Zostavax® by measurement of lymphocyte proliferation in response to VZV antigen.
Determine in vitro lymphocyte proliferation as counts per minute after stimulation of cells with varicella zoster antigen at time points preceding and following vaccination with Zostavax. Blood samples will be obtained prior to administering the Zostavax® vaccine and post-vaccination at 4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months.
Day 0, Week 4, 3 months, 6 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Determine in vitro changes in T cell proliferation preceding and following vaccination with Zostavax® by measurement of IFNg production by T cells in response to VZV antigen.
Day 0, Week 4, 3 months, 6 months
Study Arms (2)
Antibody Deficient Patients
EXPERIMENTALZostavax® vaccine administered to antibody deficient patients 60 years of age and older.
Healthy Subjects
ACTIVE COMPARATORZostavax® vaccine administered per standard of care to healthy adults 60 years of age and older.

- Presence of autoimmune or other inflammatory disease
- Use of immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory medications including chronic corticosteroids. Treatment for \>2weeks of daily steroids will be considered chronic use.
- History of bleeding or chronic skin disorders.
