A member asked:
What do you recommend if i had a vaccine for chicken pox as my son has them. i have a few spots - could i have them?

That is possible.: Even if you have been vaccinated - it is not a guarantee that you are fully protected against chicken pox.

Prophylaxis: Mild symptoms of varicella following vaccination can occur for a few reasons: exposure to the natural virus before immunity was established from vaccination, poor immune response to the vaccination, or breakthrough varicella (approximately 8% of vaccinated people will develop less than 50 varicella lesions up to 6 weeks following vaccination). Treatment is supportive.
