Chicken pox

my 2.5 year old has just started nursery and chicken pox seems to be going around. Thankfully he hasn’t had it yet, but I’m thinking of getting him vaccinated privately. My only concern is that I also have a 3 month old. Would it be ok to give my 2.5 year old a live chicken pox vaccine when I have a 3 month old at home?

I looked in the BNF for children, there's no advice to avoid unvaccinated younger siblings there.

Thanks! That’s reassuring
