If you or anyone in your household has not had chickenpox and has had close contact with someone who has chickenpox in the last 3 weeks (21 days), please do not visit the hospital, even if you have no symptoms. Chickenpox is highly contagious and can spread 1–2 days before a rash appears. Developing chickenpox during pregnancy can lead to severe birth defects (fetal varicella syndrome) or serious illness for the mother. Chickenpox in newborns can be life-threatening.
If you have developed Chickenpox, stay at home until all spots have crusted over (usually 5–7 days after onset). Inform our staff before planning a future visit.
If you are pregnant and have been exposed to chickenpox, Please contact your GP or midwife that day to discuss getting tested for chickenpox immunity.
