Chicken Pox
If you knew your unvaxxed child was exposed to chicken pox, would you continue on like normal and go to your activities and classes until you knew for sure she had contracted chicken pox? Or would you sequester yourself at home during the period where your child might also be contagious, yet before any pox show?
Assume that the other children in playgroup are vaccinated already, but you are not sure about the kids at the other activities.
Thanks! Just want to see everyone's input or what you have done when your child was exposed and you were playing the waiting game.
edit: just for clarification...my question is not if my daughter has chicken pox. If I knew she had it we wouldn't go out when she could infect people. It's what if she was playing with someone who did had it themselves. It takes 10-21 days to show up and you are contagious a few days before anything shows up. So would you stay home until you know you were in the clear?
