How does vaccine relate to the virus that it protect against?
A vaccine is essentially a weakened or dead version of the virus. This essentially "infects" you with the virus and causes the body's immune system to respond and create anti-bodies that will kill the real virus if it does ever get into your system.
Why would a vaccine be administered into the nasal cavity to protect the reproductive tract?
It doesn't matter how we get the vaccine into your body, it works as long as it gets in there. It causes your body to create special cells in your blood that protect you if that kind of infectious agent (e.g., virus) ever gets in your body again. Since the work is done by the immune system and the blood, it doesn't matter that the place the vaccine entered your body is far away from the place of the infection.
Is shingles a notifiable communicable disease?
I know that you can get shingles if you have ever had chicken pox. The chicken pox virus stays in your system once you have had them. If your immune system is weakened, the virus rears it ugly head again as shingles. If you have never had chicken pox, there is a vaccine available for it now.
Can you catch shingles from other children who have shingles?
No. While you can catch chickenpox, shingles comes from a virus already within you (chickenpox virus) so you can only have shingles if you have previously had chickenpox. I myself had shingles back when I was in the fourth grade but neither my brother nor my sister ever had it.

Can you get shingles from your daughter if you have already had shingles?
Well, some people can get chicken pox again even though they had them as a kid. I guess the same goes for shingles. Answer Strangely, if you have shingles you could pass on chicken pox to those who haven't ever had it. Shingles comes to those who have had chicken pox--often as a result of stress or other health event that drops immunity.
How can you tell the difference between genital shingles and shingles?
You get Shingles from the virus Herpes Zoster. After one is exposed to and has chickenpox, this virus stays in the system and is sometimes re-activated as the Shingles.Shingles are the adult form of chickenpox. They are very dangerous for adults. The form along the spinal column.You get an attack of chicken pox. After this attack, the virus remain hidden in posterior root ganglion of your nervous system. How does it evades the immunity is not known till date. When ever your body immunity becomes low, the viruses come out and the vesicles erupt along the distribution of the sensory nerve fibres.You probably had chickenpox when you were young, and something caused that virus to become active, which is shingles.

What happens if you don't get the chickenpox?
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
