Question about chicken pox

:eek: okay...I have never had the chicken pox before and my pt had or has something that resembles shingles...it has not been diagnosed but just in case he does I am asking this question. Before going into the room I had no knowlege that this pt could possibly have this (his nurses didn't know either). I have had one shot of the varicella zoster ( I am suppose to have 2..waitng on the 2nd). My question is does anyone know if the chances of me getting the virus are good? or since I had the one shot would I be okay? Do you think I have enough antibodies? Has anyone experienced this before? Just a little concerned! Thanks!
:D wow!! you guys are great! Thanks for all the information! Okay, yes, I did have a titer drawn and it read that I did not have antibodies to the virus but I have had one of the two shots of the vaccine. Whadda think? Still a chance i could get it if it is shingles? Thanks
