Varicella-Zoster
It is safe for the mother to get Varicella-Zoster vaccination during pregnancy, mom will develop
antibodies and they will be passed to the baby. But she needs time to develop antibodies. So, if
she will receive vaccine right before the birth of the baby, she will not have time to develop
antibodies and the baby will get sick. But if she received vaccine earlier at 13-20 week she will
have time to develop antibodies and they will be passed to the baby, the baby will not get sick.
If mother contracts chicken pox between 13-20 weeks, child can have congenital problems
