Chickenpox vaccine

I'm probably overthinking, but I could do with a bit of advice on timings. Got a nearly 3yo and 10mo, who will be due MMR on birthday in May. Can they have this vaccine near this time? I have read two different things, one says wait until 9 months and the other says one year. I want to get them both vaccinated against chickenpox. Do I do them both at the same time? Is the vaccine live? Because I worry about one of them giving it to the other before the vaccine kicks in if that makes sense.

Also, DH never had chickenpox as a child, should he go stay elsewhere for a bit? He might get the vaccine but probably not anytime soon due to money.

Sorry I can’t answer all your questions but my 18 month old had the chicken pox vaccine 2 weeks ago and i had to sign something beforehand which said he had to be at least 4 weeks clear of MMR and I’m sure he had to be at least a year old.

They only said we had to stay clear of pregnant women and those with a compromised immune system.
