Co-Worker Has the Chicken Pox

kris2131

I just found out that a co-worker has the chicken pox. We work in different departments, so we don't have a lot of close contact, but I've been around her the past couple of days. I've already had them and I'm bfing. LO hasn't had that vaccinne yet since he's too young for it. How much do I need to worry? Is he still succeptible to them? Or is he pretty much safe? Does anyone know?

From what I remember about chickenpox, your baby would have to be directly exposed to that person, like you can't bring it home for LO to catch because you had contact with that person.  If that makes any sense!  .  (as long as you've had them in the past)

If you have already had the chicken Pox then you are immune to it. The only way for your baby to get it would be if the baby was around the person.
