Guest guest Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I am coming to all of you with a question again as I know many of you surely know the answer. I am considering the Shingles vaccine and think while is at came might be a good time because it is a live vaccine but does anyone have any idea how long our kids need to be kept away from someone who has had a live vaccine? Also, just wanted to update that saw her new immuno this week and we were pleased. Not only has he been a top SoCal doc 8 yrs running, but he was straightforward and very thorough. He did say if she has another infection like this last one, she will need to stop sub-Q and return to IV on at least a bi-weekly basis. Some of what he said was sobering, to be sure, but I feel confident she is finally in good hands medically again. Thank you again for your advice and support, mom to amanda (cvid, jra) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 What I learned this week is that if you are under 60 that the vaccine is not helpful. I asked and was told that my chances of getting Shingles before that age was very unlikely and that it may not last to help me so I would probably need to get it again to be protective. Not sure how old you are but just a thought. I think it depends on the particular vaccine to how long it sheds and is a problem for out kids. Glad you ended up with a better Immunologist. It makes all the difference to have someone you can trust. BArbie From: nancyb315@...

It freaked me out bc I have 3 PID kids, and actually, bc it was on my back, I attributed the pain to a muscle problem and by the time we realized what was going on, the blisters had broken and I had cellulitis and the shingles was no longer contagious. Thanksfully, none of my kids got sick! valarie mom to 3 w/cvid > > > What I learned this week is that if you are under 60 that the vaccine is not helpful.
