Yes, you can be suspended from work for not having chickenpox vaccine. Some jobs require proof of immunity to chickenpox. Talk with your attorney for information specific to your location.
If you work with elderly and vulnerable people, you should have demonstrated immunity to chickenpox by having it in the past or by having two doses of chickenpox vaccine. If that is the case, there is no risk in visiting your granddaughter.
Shingles is not contagious -- it can't be "caught" from someone else. People with shingles can give you chickenpox if you haven't had it. See related link below for information on transmitting shingles
Yes, as long as you have demonstrated immunity to chickenpox, you can go to work in a medical environment if your son has chickenpox. If you have had chickenpox or shingles diagnosed in the past; if you have had chickenpox vaccine; or if you have had a titer demonstrating immunity, there is no risk. Talk to the infection control department or contact at your facility for details specific to your situation.
Most US hospitals will require proof of immunity to chickenpox prior to allowing you to work or intern at the hospital.
the h1n1 vaccine does not work all the time
First, you can't "catch shingles" from someone. You can get chickenpox from someone who has shingles, but only if two things are true:You have direct contact with the weeping shingles lesions; ANDYou have not had chickenpox or chickenpox vaccine in the past.You can't get chickenpox from someone with shingles if you are immune. You can't get it from being in the same room with them, either. A person with shingles can go about normal activities, including all work or school, as long as the lesions are covered.
It usually isn't bad as long as you don't ever get it. It can have worse effects on you if you are older. Some people purposefully get the chicken pox just for that reason. I would just say always get your vaccinations and make sure you stay away from anyone who does have it. See related linkIts actually better to get it when your younger. Im 13 as well and my sis got it today, im probebly going to get it. If u hav it when your older there would probebly be more pain, u can catch it from other people. i think u can get the vaccine, but im not sure because yr older.if you come into contact with someone who has chicken pox, then you could catch it.Nothing will happen
You are no longer contagious once all chickenpox lesions have scabbed over. Prior to this, you should remain at home to avoid infecting others.
If you had chickenpox as a child, that virus hides or is dormant in the nervous system. As you get older, your immune system doesn't keep it hidden and it will escape. Something the doctors say is reactivation. The shingles vaccine works by kick-starting the immune system and reminds it that that virus is still there.
Antibodies for measles don't work against chickenpox virus because antibody for measles virus can not bind to chickenpox virus. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this virus. Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this virus. When a measles vaccine is inserted inside human body, or when someone has measles, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of viruses and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against this specific type of virus. If viruses of the vaccine are alive they will reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the virus (of specific disease which needs prevention) which was in the vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against this disease viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual disease causing viruses. Antibodies are specific: An infection with the measles virus means that the person makes antibodies only against measles. It doesn't make any antibodies against chickenpox too.
