Can shingles spread chicken pox to newborns after it has scabbed over

My dad keeps getting reoccuring bouts of shingles outbreaks for over 2 months now. Im 30 weeks and vaccinated so my dr says its ok, however idk what to say if hes still keeps having outbreaks when the baby gets here. Im NOT letting them meet in person if thats the case but my dad will pitch a huge fit and say hes not contagious just because hes not blistering atm.

I was told when I had shingles to stay away from any pregnant women completely.

@Ana yeah, i thought it was fine via my dr but i took him to the dr a few weeks ago and his pregnant dr came in in full covid gear for the physical part of the exam and did the rest of the consult via phone from another room. It scared me bad and idk what to think anymore
