Is shingles an auto-immune disease?
Shingles is not an auto-immune disease.
Shingles should you refrain from going to work?
Shingles is a contagious disease. If you have shingles, you should refrain from going to work. This disease is seen in older adults mostly, or those with weakened immune systems.
Does vaccination trigger the immune system?
The propose of vaccination is to trigger the immune system and help it recognize a disease organism.
Can you catch shingles from an adult who is infected with shingles?
A person with shingles can pass the virus to anyone who hasn't had chickenpox before. A person who has not had chickenpox can become infected through direct contact with a person who is infected with shingles. After becoming infected, the person will develop chickenpox, but not shingles. The infection can be very serious for people who have a compromised immune system. However, a person with a normal immune system who has already had chickenpox cannot be infected with shingles. If a person has not previously had the chickenpox, it is best to avoid contact with any person who is infected with shingles until the infection has cleared the person completely.

What does a person need a shingles vaccine for?
It does the opposite of making you immune; it puts you at higher risk for developing shingles as your immune system weakens with age. You do need a vaccine.
Is there a vaccination for shingles?
This is a very good question. Looks simple, but very difficult to answer. There is a vaccine available for shingles. You should take it, if you can afford the same, when you are older than forty years. You are already have virus in your posterior root ganglion. You are already immune to this virus. The vaccine gives you higher immunity. Shingles attack you only when your immunity is lowered down, probably. So this vaccine is not very effective. Also that, you do not know, which individual is going to be benefited by the vaccine. When you start the acyclovir and corticosteroids, early in shingles, the severity of the postherpatic neuralgia becomes very less. Again that can be managed by drug like carbamazepine, rather effectively. You can not recommend this vaccine for masses in developing countries, where children are dieing for lack of oral dehydration solution, which is quite inexpensive.
Can you catch shingles from a shingles vaccination?
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.
What is an vaccination?
vaccination is a vaccine that stimulate your immune system to develop adaptive immunity to disease.
What is the introduction of altered antigens to produce an immune response?

How do vaccinations work Why should children and adults be given vaccination?
Vaccinations work by strengthening one's immune system. Professional doctors, with a certificate, insert some of the virus or bacteria so your immune system can get immune to fight it off. Children, in my opinion, must get a vaccination so they don't die really young. Elders and adults, that is up to them.
Why get vaccinated?
In short, a vaccination prevents you from catching a particular sickness. Vaccinations allow the immune system to become better prepared for a certain antigen (foreign invader) by giving it a "target" (usually a weaker or deaden strain of the antigen) to practice on. During the immune response to the vaccination, the body's supply of antibodies (and the B cells that produce it) is drastically increased. Should the vaccinated person encounter the antigen after vaccination, his/her immune system will be well prepared to put up a good fight. This is true for any effective vaccination against any antigen.
