Chickenpox Vaccine

A friend of mine has a little girl who's been in contact with a child recently, and his mother has today confirmed he has chicken pox, as a result of this my friend has moved her child's CP vaccine date to tomorrow.

From what I can tell if the child is in the incubation period then the vaccine will make no difference now will it? I can't find a definitive answer so if anybody could help that'd be great. Smile

General thought is that if you vaccinate within 5 days of exposure you will make a significant difference, with the child tending to either having full protection or very reduced illness.

Looked it up last year - ds was exposed 3 days before vaccination and we only realised after. He didn’t get CP
