Warnings 
  • Do not touch an open pox and touch anything else. This will spread the virus.

  • Seek medical attention if the fever lasts longer than four days.
  • Seek medical attention if there is breathing difficulties.
  • Seek medical attention for a severe cough.
  • Stay away from other people until the scabs have dried up. This should be about one week.
  • Stay away from pregnant women and immune compromised individuals.
  • The vaccine is about 70 to 90 percent effective, depending on the severity of the chicken pox. Vaccinations will prevent more severe forms of the illness, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians.
  • Discuss with your medical provider about the advisability of "chicken pox parties".
  • Adults who have had chicken pox may develop shingles later in life. There is a FDA approved vaccine available for adults 60 and older to help prevent shingles.
  • Do not give your child aspirin during a bout of chicken pox.
  • Let your doctor or medical provider know if your child has chicken pox when making a medical appointment. Usually arrangements will be made to keep your child away from other patients to help prevent spreading the illness.
