Yes Carol that is true, you cannot get Shingles if you haven't had Chicken Pox. The virus lies in wait at the base of your nerves to potentially return as Shingles at a later date.

But since the Chicken Pox vaccine is a LIVE vaccine, the current thinking is that there may be enough virus left in your body to in fact make shingles a possibility. Less likely than someone who has had chicken pox and probably not as severe, but like I said, I'm going to err on the side of caution!
