Out of my family members (myself, wife and 6 month old boy) both parents are having chicken pox. Baby is also exposed. Now that some relatives who never had chicken pox are coming to take care of us. Can they take vaccines to avoid getting chicken pox themselves? Does it make sense to give vaccines to baby now?
