Hello. Thank you for posting.

The shingles vaccine shot can roughly cut in half your chances of getting shingles, a painful skin rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. If you've already had shingles, the vaccine may help stop it from coming back. However, some people who get the vaccine still get shingles.
