Is There Any Preventive Medicines For Chicken Pox?
Hi,
Basically im looking after my nephews as there mother (my sister) was diagnosed with leukemia and my nephews just got the chicken pox and i have never had them before i am 23 years old. My mum THINKS that i may have had the jab but she cant remember properly. How dangerous is it for me to be near them? and is there anything that i can take?
thanks
