What to do about exposure to chicken pox for vaxed kids

[Guest guest]

My 2 yr old may have chicken pox and I'm wondering how my older two, whom I

foolishly vaccinated against CP 3 yrs ago, will fare while in contact with the

virus.

I have friends whose vaccinated children have caught shingles as a result of

coming into contact with the CP virus, and I certainly don't want that to

happen! Ideally, the older two will get CP and get natural immunity.

Is there anything I can or should do for my older two? My little one has a few

suspect spots today so if it's CP, the older kids have been exposed to the virus

for a few days now.

And for my 2 yr old, is it recommended that we give any antivirals for CP to

lessen the severity of it? What antivirals are recommended for this if any?

Thanks,
