Can someone who had the chicken pox vaccine get shingles?


Can someone who had the chicken pox vaccine get shingles?I know that if someone had chicken pox, they can have shingles. What about the vaccine?

Answer by ILVHIM
Yes, but contact with their shingles can give chicken pox to someone who hasn't had the vaccine. Shingles is more of a stress disorder so the chicken pox vaccine does not make someone immune to shingles.

Answer by oberoncalling
People who have had chicken pox are more likely to develop shingles later in life. I'm not sure how the vaccine plays into that, but I'm sure there's a connection somewhere. A doctor would be able to give you a really comprehensive explanation, I'm sure.
