Which vaccines can shed/transmit to other children?

[Guest guest]

I though I'd read that some vaccines (and/or the

potential reaction, such as flu or chickenpox) can

possibly shed or be transmitted to others. Can

anyone help me to remember which vaccines this

applies to, or doesn't?

I just came home from a baby group in which half

the group is unvaxed and some of the other babies

had actually had their vaccines this morning (a

coincidence.) No one else seemed to be concerned

that this might pose a problem for the unvaxed

babies. For myself, I didn't want my baby to chew

on the same toys as the ones who'd just been given

vaccines. But I was alone in this stance and it was

so awkward. Of course I don't want to make a point

of something if I'm just plain wrong! Please help me to

separate fact from fiction on this.

Thank you!
