No: There is no rapid chickenpox test. If you had the disease as a child or received the vaccine , you should be protected

No: There is no test to see if one is infected 2 days after exposure. Usually, if a person already had the vaccine or the chicken pox illness in the past, she won't develop chicken pox this time. If no prior history of getting the disease nor the vaccine, one can ask her primary care doctor if the vaccine can be given now. If one is immunosuppressed, her doctor may prescribe helpful medication.

None available: You could have an antibody titer run to see if you are immune. Then you have no need to worry. A vaccination now might help stop it, might not.The incubation time until the spots appear ranges from 10-21 days, average 14.
