Yes

You can catch chicken pox from touching/contact with the shingles rash if you've not had CP but you don't get shingles.

You have to come in contact with the fluid from the blister. Shingles is not as easily passed on as chicken pox. I have my rash covered with a wound pad to keep the infection contained. I also have a 2 year old who hasn't had his chicken pox vaccine.
