I just wanted to know that does chicken pox transfer by handshake? And if one comes in contact with a person having chicken pox , does he need any vaccination?

It won't transfer unless and until u come in contact with chicken pox rash or fluid. It mainly transmits through droplet infection (respiratory route)
