Hi, I Was Just Diagnosed Today With The Shingles Virus.

Hi, I was just diagnosed today with the shingles virus. I first noted symptoms about 7 days ago (headache, body aches, stiffness in right shoulder/trapezius). Rash first began three days prior to being diagnosed. My daughter was in my home three days ago. She is 8 months pregnant. She has had the varicella vaccine, but never had the chicken pox. Can she still get the chicken pox even though she has been vaccinated? Are there possible complications to her unborn baby?
