Zostavax for those testing varicella ab negative

Zostavax for those testing varicella ab negative - any thoughts? They are not apt to get Zoster - but how much risk is there for getting Varicella from someone with Zoster or a child w/ chickenpox (however I suspect native Varicella is almost non-existent).

John this answers your question. It is too expensive to screen, I suppose. If the titer is negative apparrently offer Varivax not Zostavax.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Roger
