A member asked:
If you have chicken pox vzig during early pregnancy, is the child then immune to chicken pox?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: If you got vzig during early or mid pregnancy, it was likely an effort to avoid CP during pregnancy & possible effects on the fetus. Vzig is a transient protection, lasting at high levels for the first wk & dropping off to nothing after a month or so. If it was given within a wk or so of birth, baby might have transient protection. If earlier, i wouldn't count on it.
