Is it possible to get shingles when you've just had the chickenpox vaccine, not the actual chickenpox?

I have a very small shingles-type rash, or so I've told, but I've never had the chickenpox. I have however had the vaccine, and someone told me that it is possible to get shingles in this manner, but I was curious what other people thought. By the way, I'm 19 if that makes any difference.

Hi, Although I think the problem is 'most-likely' long and or short term allergic reactions to 'something' COMBINED WITH a weakened lymph liver kidney and immune systems - IF the following symptoms would ever occur - I think the worst it might possibly be is deadly bacterial meningitis.The two quotes below are from: <> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_Meningitis <><>“IF a rash is present, it may indicate a particular cause of meningitis; for instance, meningitis caused by meningococcal bacteria may be accompanied by a characteristic rash.”<><>“The MOST common symptoms of meningitis are headache and neck stiffness associated with fever, confusion or altered consciousness, vomiting, and an inability to tolerate light (photophobia) or loud noises (phonophobia). SOMETIMES, especially in small children, only nonspecific symptoms may be present, such as irritability and drowsiness.”<>For further details see: <> http://www.cdc.gov/meningitis/about/faq.html <><><>For further information on itch rash illnesses and for long term solutions TO THEM ALL - the following link has considerable info within a ‘report’ I recently posted:<> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091113104039AAbnGet <>I truly hope what you learn will help you to decide on the correct choices that will remedy your painful malady in the future.

The chickenpox vaccine is a live virus vaccine. Therefore, you have the varicella virus in your body, just like someone who had chickenpox would. So yes, you are able to get shingles. In fact, shingles is more common in people who have gotten the chickenpox vaccine compared to people who got the actual disease.
