EXPERT ANSWERS
Shingles vaccine: Can I transmit the vaccine virus to others?
A new shingles vaccine uses an inactivated varicella-zoster (chickenpox) virus so you can't infect others.

Car sickness in children: Can I prevent it?
Carefully planned pre-trip meals, air ventilation and distractions might help prevent car sickness in children.
