Can my son who is 11mths and 10 days be vaccinated for chickenpox
by Guest on Mar 03, 2009 08:15 PM

Dear doctor Roopa,

My husaband is infected with chickenpox which was comfirmed by the doctor today (3rd march)... he is at his early stages... where we can see red popups..... the actual problem is my son is 11 months and 10 days old... and his first birthday is on 23 march.... i understand that children above 12 months are vaccinated for chickenpox... i did check with my pediatrician and he said that we can go a head with the vaccination if his birthday is in another 20 days... i am writing this to u to get a second opinion on the above mentioned case. And i also want to know whts are the chances that my son will also be infected with the disease.
