I’m 17 weeks pregnant and I’m told that I have to get the varicella shot for a current job. I’ve already had the chicken pox when I was younger but still need this shot. Have any other mommy’s had to get this shot? Were there any side effects?
@miaheka, so do I just need a titter drawn so that it shows I have the chicken pox antibodies?
I never had the chicken pox, so I had to get the vaccine.
If you had the chicken pox then you don’t need the vaccine. I got it post birth before leaving the hospital last month and I haven’t had any side effects.
You don't need it if you already had the vaccine. Get your titers drawn.
