My husbands Grandfather just found out today that he has shingles,my husband has been going to his house & taking care of him & his aunt(which lives with his g/father, she has down syndorme sp?) she came to our house the last 2 nights for dinner. Is shingles cautgious (sp?) if so how bad? We have 2 children ages 2 & 6, we also run a daycare with 6 other children who attend!! Ages from 1 to 11yrs. Do you think my children or any of the children will get shingles? My children were over to visit their grandfather last Wed. He didnt start feeling sick until sunday nite. Do you think theres a higher chance of them getting it since we had their aunt here, who lives with the g/father that has shingles? My children have had their shots for chicken pox, someone told me if they have had chicken pox they shouldnt get shingles, but having the shot for it & actually having chicken poxs, is that the samething? I need as much information on this as possible!
