Q :  We are ging to visit family out of town in a few weeks. There is a family member that has shingles. We have a 4 month old has has not yet received the chicken pox vaccination. What do you suggest?

Answer : Hello Kara. Although shingles is not contagious it can give your baby a chicken pox infection if he is not vaccinated or previously had chicken pox. It is best to avoid exposing the baby to this person.
