Possible to get sick from someone who has small pox vaccine?


Question:
A family friend is going overseas and will be getting the small pox vaccine. I have never been vaccinated for small pox what are the chances of me becoming ill by being in close quarters to this person very soon after he is given the shot?

Greetings,

I was intending to answer this question, but I cannot improve upon this article from the CDC, which answers your query directly:
