Chicken Pox at THS

Dear Parents, Guardians and Staff Members of Trumbull High School, This letter is to notify you that a case of Chicken Pox (Varicella) has been reported in a child attending Trumbull High School.

Chicken pox is a very contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It causes a blister-like rash, itching, tiredness, and fever. Chicken pox is spread from person to person through the air from an infected person’s coughing or sneezing or by direct contact with the blisters. A person with chicken pox can spread the disease up to two days before he/she gets the rash and until all of his/her blisters have formed scabs. It takes from 10 to 21 days after exposure to a person with chicken pox for a person to develop chicken pox.
