A member asked:
Does the chicken pox vaccine have any affect on whether or not my child can contract a cold sore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: They are caused by different viruses and the vaccine would not prevent or otherwise affect how the kid dealt with the other virus. There is no vaccine for the virus that causes cold sores.
