Nursing school immunizations and Micro Preemie at home

Published

Hello,

I am a new nursing student and I am finishing up my clinical requirements. I tested negative for MMR and Varicella. I have an 8 month(5 months corrected) old micro preemie at home on O2, she was born with BPD and Chronic lung disease. What precautions if any should I take after I get the shots? Should I limit contact? Wear a mask and gloves? I have a call into her pediatrician, I was just wondering everyone's opinion.

Why in the world would you want "everyone's opinion" when it comes to the health of your baby???
