Hi, I noticed rashes and blisters on my body today, and also have fever. A doctor has confirmed it is Chickenpox. Can the people I shared food etc. with yesterday and day before contract it too? Is there any way they can prevent it?

Check whether they had chicken pox in childhood- if yes , they need not worry. If they didn't have it in childhood-or were not vaccinated better to get vaccinated... High risk individuals- immunocompromised people will require immunoglobulin as preventive therapy
