Hi Dr. Samuel, My three year old grandson has chicken pox at present and I have been in constant contact, even before the spots came out. My concern is for my children who are in their thirties who have never had chicken pox and they haven t had the immunisation. Is it possible for me to pass it on to my children even though I don t have any symptions? I had chicken pox as a child. Thanking you, Louise
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor They would only become infected from if you have chicken pox and transmit it to them. If you are immune due to previous infection or immunization, and you are not at risk of infection then you cannot transmit the virus. They may want to consider being immunized to reduce their risk of infection at any point in the future. I hope this helps
