She already had the first dose of the vaccine, and our pediatrician had us come in and get the second dose asap (usually they give it at 15 months but kids can get it as early as 12 months). Definitely see what your ped thinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickenpox-help#post-2287169 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 08:54:26 +0000 mkp17 2287169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: that's what I am hoping! thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickenpox-help#post-2287141 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 08:36:05 +0000 Truth Bombs 2287141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken pox has a pretty long incubation period so even if he catches it, it likely won't be until you get back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickenpox-help#post-2287037 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 07:07:33 +0000 mkp17 2287037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: thanks! Just so worried we'll be at the beach when he gets it and he'll be miserable there and on the 6 hour ride home!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickenpox-help#post-2286925 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 21:34:32 +0000 matador84 2286925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay so DS got CP at 14 months and even with vaccination, it wasn't as much of a nightmare as I thought it would be. I guess it's so different than when I was a kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickenpox-help#post-2286527 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:28:04 +0000 danda 2286527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that if does catch anything it should be very mild. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickenpox-help#post-2286505 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:02:07 +0000 Adira 2286505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mkp17: I'd be freaking out too, so I feel you!! I think you'll be okay though, and if she does get anything, it should be VERY mild since she's already had the first vaccine dose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickenpox-help#post-2286496 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 11:55:53 +0000 mkp17 2286496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: thank you so much!!!
