I didn't even know there was a shingles vaccine. I must ask my doc about that. My aunt got it maybe fifteen years back and was off work for three months! There seems tone some confusion above amongst the commenters about measles, chicken pox and shingles. Measles and chicken pox are two separate viruses, though both are common childhood illnesses, only one hangs around in the nervous system with the aim of waiting until you are a little run down in late middle age to cause shingles: chicken pox. You can't get shingles if you've never had chicken pox.
