A member asked:
My 13mnth old has not had her 12mnth vaccines yet and was exposed to chicken pocs.. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry: She may develop chickenpox and have natural immunity . This means , she does not have to be immunized for the varicella vaccine as part of the 12 months vaccinations required . Make sure it is chickenpox . Have your pediatrician document it.
