<p>The Eliot house master sent news of a case of chickenpox to Eliot residents.</p>
<p>Bad news. Getting chicken pox after puberty can be a very serious illness. I hope the other Harvard students are either up on their immunizations or have already had the disease as children.</p>
<p>If any of your kids have not had chicken pox or have not been immunized they should be on the look out and ask for an antiviral at the first spot they see-can minimize the severity of the illness.</p>
<p>The undergrad who works with me in lab is in Eliot House, and he says the student has been quarantined.</p>
