### Human:\ncan you get chicken pox from your children after they receive their varicella shots? . my 2 children got their varicella shots about 2 weeks ago. i have had chicken pox 4 times prior to having children. now i am feeling sick have no appetite and have developed a rash on my abdomen an in my groin region. is it possible that its chicken pox?\n\n### Assistant: i can't see your skin eruption but not all rashes are chicken pox. i would also question the accuracy of the diagnosis if you were told you had chicken pox four times. the varicella vaccine is a live virus but not one that can cause a true contagious case of chicken pox. see your medical provider and have that mysterious rash properly diagnosed.
