Hi all my daughter had chicken pox 12 days ago. My son hasn’t had it yet.
when can I expect him to catch it? Has anyone had siblings not catch it

we go away on Monday 🙈 no signs of it yet but he has just woke up which is unlike him, usually sleeps through

thanks x

So you’ve infected loads of other people as well then. Well done.

So you don't let your child go anywhere for 3 weeks every time they come in contact with CP?
Don't be ridiculous!
