We gave our 9 month old the chicken pox vaccine at the end of March. He has only had one dose as he needs to have a 12 week gap in between. There is now a case of chicken pox in his nursery room. Has anyone given their child the vaccine and then they caught chicken pox?

It takes about 6 weeks for the vaccine to work properly, and if he catches it he might have a severe one as it may take 6 weeks for vaccine to start working. Hope it helps

I just wanted to say that our son had chicken pox recently which was mild and he hadn’t had the vaccine so hopefully that reassures you in case your little one does catch it 😊
