You know.. I think this is very interesting b/c this is the only site on the internet where I can find a person asking exactly what I am wondering this very moment. My son just got the chicken pox vaccine about 1 month ago. About a week after the shot, he got a small case of the pox, which I was told to possibly expect. Now, about 20 days later, I suspect that I have shingles and am going to the dr. Tomorrow. I have had extreme pain and burning sensation on my left side of my mid-back and the rash just appeared over that spot about 5 hours ago. I guess I will find out tomorrow if it is shingles as I strongly suspect. However, I wonder exactly how often people who are exposed to a child who just received the vaccine and showed signs of pox "coincidentally" get shingles. I don't think much data is collected on this to simply rule out the connection.
