Ds 6 has the chicken pox, first spots appeared on Friday, he is now completely covered.
Baby is due his 6 month injections today and doesn't seem to have caught the chicken pox, but I'm worried he may have caught the virus but spots haven't come out yet.
Should i cancel the vaccines?
At this time of year it's unlikely I'd be able to get a call through to speak to the nurse or doctor before the appt.

Can you leave the 6yo at home when you take the baby?
I'd go to the appt & ask for their advice about whether baby should have jabs now or delay.
I would plan for certain for baby to come out with the spots pretty close to 10th Jan!

ps: not medical, but DD had CPx at 15 weeks old, so a familiar routine. I don't recall delaying her jabs.

I wouldn't risk it. Phone and reschedule.

What are the 6 month injections? Are you in the UK?
