From what I have read you can only get Shingles if you HAVE had Chickenpox, as Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the virus that has been dormant in the body since you orginally had Chickenpox.
However, if some has never had Chickenpox, they can catch it from someone who has Shingles (same virus)
As Lee-Ann said, the virus can re-emerge if you are run down. Speak to your Doctor, and try not to worry.
HTH,
Ingrid
