 [ Symptoms ] if you receive the chicken pox vaccine can you get shingles later in life [ Disease ] this time last year i had the shingles and i have never had chicken pox i thought you would not get shingles if you never had chicken pox but i got them on the right side of my neck in my hair line and behind my ear there is a small area in my hair line that still itches most of the time so it seem that you can get the shingles just about anytime that is just my opinion
