Varicella is not an airborne spread virus in the usual sense. It is spread via droplets from open oozing chicken pox sores, and only rarely in the respiratory secretions unless there are open sores in or near the nose/lips. A person with chicken pox has been contagious for about 2 days prior to the first crop of pox showing up until the last pox is completely dry and scabbed over. As far as the virus in the sneeze, you would have to be pretty close to catch it that way. The virus doesn't live long in open air at all, it requires moisture. So although I'd be careful around the kleenex and silverware/glasses, just breathing in the same room as a person with chickenpox isn't enough to catch it. You actually have to come in contact with a wet source.

If the governmenet gained't pay for it (which they don't the position I stay, and different vaccines are coated), then they don't have any actual to require it for school. I not in any respect were given my youngsters the fowl pox vaccine, and my in trouble-free terms reason grow to be using price. My youngsters (twins) both were given fowl pox at age 4, on the very similar time. It did not faze them in any respect, in reality we went on a pre-planned holiday 2 days when they broke out, and my youngsters both have weakened immune structures, they were 7 weeks premature and both have mile-lengthy lists of hypersensitive reactions.

Kids today are vaccinated against Chicken Pox. I don't know if there is a really big threat of that anymore.
