Hi -I'm CVID, diagnosed for 10 years.
My kids (2.5 & 1 yrs) will almost certainly get Chicken Pox in the next few weeks, all their friends have been going down with it so it's only a matter of time. That in itself is not an issue but wondered if I should take any precautions? I had it as a child but realise that counts for nothing since my body won't be immune to the virus anymore. I'm assuming it's just a case of hoping all the good folks who have contributed to my Hizentra have the antibody and therefore I'll be immune. Is it serious if I do get it?
I don't recall being too poorly when I got it as a child.
Am I right in my thinking?
