Illness can interrupt even the most carefully planned vacations—and chickenpox is no exception. Whether it affects you or a family member, a diagnosis right before your trip can create confusion, especially when it comes to air travel. So, what happens next if you’re wondering whether you can fly with chickenpox?
Why Chickenpox Affects Travel Plans
