the incubation period for chicken pox virus (herpes) is about 2 weeks or so. causal exposure to someone with shingles in a child who has been immunized (i don't know your child's age or if your child had one or two vaccines) is not likely to lead to a disease outbreak. discuss it with her doctor anyway.
child had been immunized for chickenpoks and came in contact with shingles virus during contagious stage can they get it. my child is scheduled for a surgery and has recently been exposed to the shingles virus during the open blister stage. obviously worried have pre-op this week but curious for answer prior to meeting with dr.
