Can you pass on chicken pox from having the vaccination?

I don't live in the UK and am thinking of giving DS (2) the chicken pox vaccination. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and have already had chicken pox (and have had blood test which shows I already have the antibodies).

Does anyone know if DS could potentially catch and transmit chicken pox from having the vaccination and whether there would be any chance I could catch it? I think it is extremely unlikely but can't find anything online to state whether or not he would be contagious after having the vaccination. Thank you!

Shouldn't be possible. DD is having the vaccination as DS has a compromised immune system. I have asked and been told its not possible, plus someone would have told me if there was the slightest possibility given how many professionals I've discussed it with.

Very few vaccines nowadays leave you with the possibility of being contagious.
