He got tested yesterday to see if his chickenpox vaccine is still protecting him. It isn't. Today he gets the chickenpox vaccine. It's Friday. Should he go back to work on Monday? The woman with shingles will still be there. According to your 21 Nov 2009 posts, he won't have much immunity by Monday, right? Thanks for any information!

But meanwhile the body also develops the short lived protecting (IgG) within 2 weeks. ( 9 ) days after vaccination looks like really grey area ( I like to think he is kinda protected by now). Anyway, he needs to see a doctor to see what kind of rash he got. it takes the body about 4-6 weeks to develp the long lasting protecting antibody (IgM).
