Hello,

My son had the varcilla(?) vaccine. He was playing with his two little
cousins who had the chicken pox (one vaccinated, one not) on May 15.
Their
mother didn't know that they had it. Anyways, today he woke up with two
little spots (one on his forehead and one on his neck), no fever, no
vomiting. I was just wondering how effective the vaccine is, and if it is
possible that these are just bug bites.

If the bugs have been anything like they have been here, I'd say it's most
likely bites. I think he'd have a fever and feel sick if it were chicken
pox.

If they are chicken pox, they will transform into fluid filled bumps
within a day or two, and he will probably get more. Bugbites just continue
to be red bumps, nothing more.

Unfortunately, the vaccine is not always 100% effective, and he may still
get chicken pox, but it will be a lot milder.
