Does the shingles vax shed?

[rahans]

4.5 yr old has broken out in what looks like chicken pox spots (about 30+, not itchy yet, around trunk and legs - looks like mild case). She got the varicella vax at 1. My FIL mentioned that he got the shingles vax 4 weeks ago. So, does the vax shed? The timeline makes sense, right?
I was hoping she would be exposed to the wild virus at some point (regret the vax) but if she got the pox from his shingles vax (if this is possible), then it would not be the same as being exposed to the wild virus?? Thanks for any info.

The chicken pox or shingles vax shed the same as if someone had natural shingles or chicken pox.

The disease in your child would give her the same immunity whether she got it from a natural virus or a vaccine virus. In her body the virus would go through filters and mutate back to the wild virus which then replicates in her how body and gives her immunity.

We never have to worry where the virus came from, just that it enters the body in the natural way(mouth or nose) and therefore go through the filters that limit the virus' potency.

Gitti,

I am interested in this because I know this is not the case with measles. The measles one can get from the shedding vaccine is quite different than wild virus measles. I would think it would be the same for CP??? would be interested in any sources you have about this.
