• Can I get the chicken pox vaccine at the age of 28?

I am 28 years old and I have never been affected with chicken pox in my life. My daughter is 3 years old and has just got a bout of chicken pox. Can I get the vaccine now to prevent the infection from coming to me? I already had the vaccine when I was young but I'm not sure which precautions to take.

Not necessary, but you can if you want to.

You should have immunity to chickenpox as you had the vaccine when you were young. No need for further precautions.
