A member asked:
Are children able to get immunity from chicken pox vaccine if they were given immunoglobulin at age 2 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: Any benefit of immunoglobulin is transient. It circulates in the system much as those passed by mothers to their newborn. After 30 to 90 days it is essentially gone. Only true vaccination or active disease will generate immunity to chickenpox or other similar diseases.
