My 31yr old husband has shingles, should i get the shingles vaccine? i am29. can i get shingles from him?

Herpes zoster: This is the same virus that causes chickenpox and if you have had that you may be at risk of getting shingles. If not, you are at risk of getting chickenpox. My advice is to get the vaccine if you can afford it. Even if you have had chickenpox it makes the onset of later shingles less likely.

Shingles: Nope. Unless you have never had chicken pox, he is unlikely to pass this on to you. The government is still not recommending this vaccine until you are 49 or older. But, your family physician who knows your history and your husband's history may want you to get this outside of the normal recommendations.
