When evaluating a vaccine against chickenpox, it is necessary to define whether or not the endpoint would include shingles due to reactivation. If evaluating a HIV vaccine , the NNV may vary depending upon the expected standard of care in the absence of a vaccine, which may vary from continent to continent.
A vaccine is generally considered effective if the estimate is ≥50% with a >30% lower limit of the 95% confidence interval.

Effectiveness is generally expected to slowly decrease over time. [7]

[8] Shingles provokes a painful rash with blisters, and can be followed by chronic pain ( postherpetic neuralgia ), as well as other complications.
Retrospective cohort study of the effectiveness of two Russian vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in Moscow (June–July 2021) proved that EpiVacCorona, unlike Sputnik V, is an ineffective vaccine and therefore cannot protect against COVID-19. [4]
