A member asked:
Can a person who has just received the shingles vaccine give you chicken pox?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: If you have not had chickenpox or your immunity is very low, you can get chicken pox after the vaccine. It is uncommon and will be a milder case than usual. You are contagious and need to rest and avoid others until resolved.
