If your son's rash : had been diagnosed as Chickenpox, hospital personnel would have taken strict precautions to prevent other hospitalized children from becoming infected. He should still get his Varicella vaccine at 12-15 months & 4-6 years. To find out if he had a viral exanthem, or rash, sign a HIPAA-approved release of records from the hospital to his pediatrician. His pediatrician can review the record with you.
