Can One Get Shingles After Shingles Vaccination?
Hello I had the shingles vaccine when I turned 60. My mother had them and they were very painful. I have a rash that is turning out to be resistant to any creams and it's starting to blister and hurt. It's on my face (which is where my mom had hers) could I still get shingles after the vaccine.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The shingles vaccine is not highly accurate. Which means that some people will get shingles despite being vaccinated. But they experience a mild disease with less symptoms and long lasting pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
