Answers:
The varicella virus in Zostavax is attentuated!. This means weakened!. But you may still give it to her!. In fact, you're also likely to transmit the virus during one of your Herpes zoster outbreaks!. Suggestion: Your niece gets vaccinated and you keep your distance for a week or so!. But you should be speaking to your doctor about this and take that advice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
