Shingles risk?

My 3 year old nephew has chicken pox, Lemtrada round 1 was June this year It is more likely I will get shingles from him, given my reduced immune system? Thanks Rich

@tallritchie , even just having MS, being immune-compromised, leaves us vulnerable to contracting Shingles. Even more so for you, as your immune system is just reconstituting. Were you not offered a Shingles vaccine prior to your Lemtrada? Personally, I would not take any risks until you have had a chance to talk to your MS Nurse or the infusion ward where you were treated.

@stumbler Many thanks for your reply goes with my view too I had the Chicken Pox vaccination in Q2 and was told I would not be able to have an active vaccination for 2 years Shall try my nurse tomorrow but have already told my folks that I will not be with the greater family on Tuesday
