I am considering getting the Shingles Vaccine. My daughter is pregnant & the baby is due October 1st. Is there a definite period of time that I cannot visit with my daughter in law after I receive the vaccine? Also is there a period of time between receiving the Pneumonia vaccine & the Shingles vaccine? Thank you for your time. Anne
Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I suggest you it is better to avoid the meeting to the pregnant patient. Though the data regarding your question of concern is not available but the vaccine you have mentioned is live attenuated vaccine, live vaccine if it comes in contact with pregnant mother may cause teratogenicity to developing embryo. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
