A colleague of mine has advised that her daughter has chicken pox. I haven't had any contact with my colleague or her daughter, since the diagnosis. I last saw my colleague about two weeks ago, but haven't seen her daughter for ages.
My colleague is worried about passing on chicken pox or shingles to me, now that she's back at work. I should clarify - my colleague is not sick, but she's worried that she might still come down with shingles and then I'll be at risk.
I had chicken pox as a child. Should I be worried about contracting it again whilst pregnant? I don't like the idea of having any sort of vaccination whilst I'm pregnant, but I'll do whatever is best for Aristotle. My concern here though is that if I am worried about getting shingles/chicken pox from my colleague just because her daughter is sick, then maybe I should be worried about all the clients I come into contact with (up to 30 a week), and then it starts bordering on paranoia...
