I have been given two opposing answers about how long I should avoid contact with other people after receiving the Zostovax vaccine. Could you please tell me the answer? i was told by one pharmacist to avoide immune suppressed individuals for 2 to 3 weeks including cancer patients, young children, and pregnant women. I was told by another pharmacist that there were no precautions. My grandchildren have never had chicken pox or the vaccine. The youngest is 19 mo. I am concerned about giving them chicken pox. Thanks.
