Chix pox risk/adult...need answer asap thanks!

[Guest guest]

Hi...I tried to do a message search for this but it wants to pull up 5,000 and I

can't refine it enough. So I'm asking probably an old question here...my

apologies. I'll post this email and ask what you all think. I've had this the

normal way, probably 45 or so years ago...what's the deal now? Just my own

immune health? This email is from one of my student's grandmothers...I run a

music studio; private leassons...hands on, close proximity work.

<<I wanted to give you a heads-up that (student) was exposed to chickenpox and

will very likely start showing signs of infection because we chose to forgo the

vaccine. I still don't know if she's going to school tomorrow – I have to speak

with the nurse and find out if it's considered a serious threat. Most children

have been vaccinated, but there's always a chance at a second infection and

adults are much worse off if they get chickenpox. Anyway,(student)is doing

fine and I hate for her to miss her second lesson, but I'll let you make the

call. >>

Best she stays home?...I'm glad they didn't vaccinate, but what's the risk to me

though. Thanks!
