Is There Any Chance Of Getting Chicken Pox In Children?
My mother may have shingles (I am taking her to dr in 1 hour) however my son had planned to travel 12 hours with his 2 & 4 year old to visit my Mom ( she was diagnosed with sm cell lung cancer & just had her 1st chemo session 2 weeks ago). Is there a chance my grandchildren could get chicken pox (which neither has ever had) from being exposed to Mom if she indeed has shingles?

If your baby is not immunized wirh chikenpox vaccine , there is little possiblity of getting infection, in such case avoid cotact.
