Waiting to try:Should I take chicken pox vaccine?
2005-09-01
Name: Viveka



Hello,

I am new in this board. Hubby and i will starts efforts to conceive second child in 2 months. I did not get chicken pox in childhood. I have got MMR shot four years ago. Should I get chicken pox vaccine as a precaution before getting pregnant? I live in US. I have 3 yr daughter who will be in school during my second pregnancy. She is immunized against chicken pox. Can I get it from her if she carries it from school?

Please kindly suggest what to do?

Thanks, Viveka

viveka,
check with your gynec if you are immune or not. if you are not then you would need vaccination.
Since your daughter is vaccinated she would not get infected and thus less likely she could bring infection from school to home, but can't be guaranteed.
