· Zostavax is made up of a live but weakened strain of the herpes zoster virus. Mayo Clinic experts note that only very rarely will someone develop a shingles rash as a result of getting the vaccine and then transmit the virus to others. However, if a rash develops, it's important to remember that you cannot give others shingles, but rather, a case of chickenpox. If a shingles rash occurs, it's important to stay away from young children and pregnant women who may not have had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine, until the rash heals--usually between seven and 10 days.
