Detailed Solution

The vaccine that is also called varicella is the chickenpox vaccine.

Varicella is the scientific name for the virus that causes chickenpox. The chickenpox vaccine is a live, attenuated vaccine that contains a weakened varicella virus. The vaccine helps prevent chickenpox, a common and highly contagious childhood illness. The vaccine is typically given in two doses, starting at 12 to 15 months of age, with a second dose given at 4 to 6 years of age.

The measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine is a combination vaccine that protects against three different diseases, while Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTaP) vaccine protects against three different bacterial diseases. Both MMR and DTaP vaccines are different from the chickenpox vaccine.
