If you both haver been vaccinated, you are probably protected. If you do catch chickenpox it will be mild if you are vaccinated. Your father will be contagious until the blisters scab over. See my articles on chickenpox and shingles below...

Shingles is latent chicken pox virus that has been dormant in the nerve endings until it was activated because of another infection of some kind. Your father may have some other health issue that is not yet diagnosed. Do not touch the shingles or the fluid that they produce either on clothing or on you father. Shingles are extremely painful and even after they heal can continue to hurt. So try not to annoy him or surprise him anything that may aggravate him will cause them to hurt intensely. If both of you have a chicken pox vaccine you will be ok. You may be able to get a shingles vaccine but I think your brother is too young to have it.
