It would be good to speak to your health care professional about that. It depends mostly on the stage of the shingles at the time and if you are taking any anti-viral medications for the shingles.

∙ 14y agoIt is recommended by the CDC that if you have an infection causing fever like a cold or the flu you might benefit to wait until you are over it before getting a flu shot or other vaccination. Your immune system will already be busy working to get rid of the current infection, so if you can wait, it will be less stress on your body's immune system. It wouldn't have to work on creating the immunity to the flu at the same time as creating the antibodies for fighting the infection. Ask your health care professional if it would make a difference in your case.

Can you get the flu from the flu shot?
Shingles are caused by the chicken pox virus. If you had chicken pox as a child, you have the potential to have shingles later in life. The virus stays latent deep in nervous system tissue and then activates and produces the pain and skin eruptions known as shingles. We are not sure what causes the virus to go active again after decades but there is likely some initiating trigger. The flu shot would not cause shingles, however, each individual's response to drugs and medications can be different. Ask your doctor if, in your case, the immune response to the flu shot could have caused your outbreak of shingles. It is doubtful, but potentially not impossible. If that were the initiating event, it would not be that you "caught" shingles from the vaccine, it would be that the immune response to the vaccine might have triggered the chicken pox virus to reactivate and create shingles.

They don't shoot you, and it isn't a 'shot' of a drink, it's a needle in the arm. In the 2009-2010 flu season there was a mist as well as a shot for the vaccination for swine flu.
