Question: can you get shingles if you haven't had the chickenpox vaccine?
Answer: A. No. Even if they don't remember having had chickenpox, they should still get the shingles vaccine—it wouldn't give them chickenpox. There's a new and improved shingles vaccine (Shingrix), which is approved for people ages 50 and over, even for those who received thefirst shingles vaccine (Zostavax).
