My mom was diagnosed with shingles 7 days ago and has been on the anti viral medication since that day. I have had the chickenpox as a child but my husband and daughter have not had them ever. I heard from one person I have to get the shingles vaccination because the virus stays in your system after having chickenpox? I then was told by someone else when she is done with the anti viral medication, it would not transfer to anyone else?
I just need to know if I'm at risk first because I had to pick her up from the airport, also I just really need to know if after she finishes the medication, is it safe or can it still be passed to me and my family?
