    Hello friends!

    our priority date has recently become current and we are in the process of collecting our paperwork. I realize I do not have record for varicella vaccine. I gave blood for checking immunity but I am sure I have never been exposed to chickenpox. I would not have any worries taking this vaccination but I am feeding my 8 week old exclusively on breast milk. I would not get a doctors waiver because CDC says no KNOWN harm to nursing moms, I do not want to take any risk as this is live virus.

    Has anybody in this situation before?
