My 4 yr old got his mmr,dtp,polio, and chicken pox vaccine yesterday and has a lil fever and acting sickly... is he contagious to be around me and my 3 week old?
Probably not. Vaccines can often give them a fever for the first day or two after. That is why they recommend to give tylenol either right before or right after the shots. Hope he feels better soon!
Chicken pox is live but it doesn't shed the body for about a week. We love with my mother who has a suppressed immune system and we give that VAX when we know one of us is going to be away. I would just give Tylenol it should be OK. If you have any concerns call your Dr and ask
