when would a reaction to the chicken pox vaccine show up?
DS is probably getting his chicken pox vaccine at his 15 month appt.
3 hours later i'm hosting a baby shower for my cousin at my house. i'm just wondering how fast a reaction could be to the shot and if i have to worry about him at all that day.
he's never had a reaction to a vaccine before so i have nothing to go by.

Re: when would a reaction to the chicken pox vaccine show up?
My DS had a reaction a few days later - can't remember how many days though but, I posted about it so if you search I'm sure you can find it. I think you'll be fine 3 hrs later!

Just a separate thought...make sure your cousin is immune to the chicken pox, otherwise she shouldn't be around your DS because it's a live vaccine. DS's ped double-checked with me that I was immune before giving it to DS when I was pregnant.

how would she know if she's immune? if she's had it? thanks for thinking of this for me!

She should check with her OB. The blood panel they do when you first find out you're pregnant usually includes a check for immunity to the chicken pox. I had it as a child, but my OB double checked my initial bloodwork just to be safe before DS got his chicken pox vaccine. I'm sure everything is fine, but it's always good to check
