Iv never had chicken poxs in my life and I’m 19 years older however I think I have just caught it as shingles from a young family member. I have an abortion booked for the next couple days. Am I still aloud to have an abortion while having chicken poxs/ shingles?

you need to contact the hospital and ask them, but they will probably tell you to stay home.

It would be unusual not to have had chicken pox as a child. If you have symptoms at present you would be considered infectious. As Saj said , best to speak to the clinic if you definitely have shingles or chickenpox. If you are not sure, then get a gp emergency appointment.
