Hello my children have the pox, and i was just wondering how long to keep ds1 off school for?
Also why the bloody hell have i got it too, when i have had it?

Dh has it too, but we don't know if he has had it or not before.

At least 5 dyas after spots appear or preferably until all scabbed over. You can get it more than once .

Natural immunity, acquired after an infection, is not perfect.

Three times is pretty unlucky though...

I would say a week, that's what I did with both of mine even though no2 didn't have it so badly.
