Fifth Disease

[cheryl0321]

My sister is 3 months pregnant and a first grade school teacher.  There is an outbreak of Fifth's Disease in her school.  She is not immune to this disease.  How can she avoid getting it?

Thank you for your help.

You can not and I heard that was dangerous to get during pregnancy. My sister worked at a day care and could not work when they had an outbreak of that.

I found this and I don't know if it helps...but it seems like if she DID catch it, then as long as she was monitored by her OB the chance for complication or problems is very small::
