Hi, trying for baby no 2 and blood test results show no immunity to varicella had a booster 2 years ago prior to first baby shd i get another booster?

Reasonable : Another attempt to build your immunity is certainly worth while. Infection during pregnancy can give rise to the congenital varicella syndrome and around delivery it can result in a devastating infection in baby.Adults don't tolerate the infection well in some cases.

Yes: There is not much downside to getting another varicella vaccine shot other than the expense. Not everyone responds to every vaccine. Some vaccines still seem to prevent disease even if antibody levels do not show immunity.
