Chicken pox/varicella vaccine is given at 15 months of age.
Check in the baby's vaccination chart if it was given or not (and if not given, then give it at the earliest).
It is highly likely that your baby might be infected.
Baby having Spina bifida doesn't put baby at any additional risk from chicken pox.
See your pediatrician, he might prescribe antivirals depending upon baby's symptoms.
