If you had chickenpox as a child, that virus hides or is dormant in the nervous system. As you get older, your immune system doesn't keep it hidden and it will escape. Something the doctors say is reactivation. The shingles vaccine works by kick-starting the immune system and reminds it that that virus is still there.
