I came in contact with a person with chicken pox. We shared a meeting room for few hours. I am 28 year old male with no vaccination. What should I do to minimize the risk of catching or preventing it.

Since you have come in contact with a person suffering from chicken pox, you run the risk of acquiring infection. Vaccination is the only way of preventing chicken pox. It gives protection for 20 years.
