Hi,
I have never got affected with chickenpox before and i am breastfeeding 5 month old.
Can a breastfeeding mother take chickenpox vaccine?
I would like to take the vaccine as a precaution. Because one of my friend shared her story of how she suffered with chickenpox while nursing her child.
I am scared and I dont want to get into such situation.
Is there any blood test i need to take before getting the vaccine?
