Can chickenpox vaccine prevent shingles by cryosurgery?
Those who have had chickenpox vaccine have a lower risk of shingles, but you can talk with your health care provider about getting shingles vaccine. I have no idea what cryosurgery has to do with shingles.

Is there a shingles titer?
You appear to be confused about the nature of shingles. A positive varicella titer shows that you have had chickenpox in the past, or that you have had the vaccine for chickenpox. You can't get shingles unless you've had chickenpox. If you have had chickenpox, a positive varicella titer is not protective against shingles, and you may need the vaccine. Discuss with your health care provider whether shingles vaccine makes sense for you.

If a blood test indicated you were exposed to chickenpox but you didn't know you had is it safe and should you get the vaccine if it is a live vaccine?
If you're referring to chickenpox vaccine, the answer is no: if your blood test indicates that you've been exposed to chickenpox, you don't need the vaccine. If you're referring to shingles vaccine, each person with advice from their health care professional must make these decisions for themselves. I have had shingles and can say I don't want to experience that again. The problem with the shingles vaccination is that it costs quite a bit and many insurance plans will not cover it. Talk to your insurance to find out in advance if it will be covered and if not, shop around for best prices, some places can charge $100 or more. From all indications, in a normal healthy adult, shingles vaccines are safe and you do not need to worry about catching shingles from the vaccine, even if it is made with a live virus. Vaccinations using live viruses do usually have specific ages, and some medical conditions, for which the type is not recommended. But if you do not fall into one of those groups, the viruses have been weakened (attenuated) to prevent them from being capable of causing infection in appropriate patients. Essentially, for the healthy adult, they are considered effective and safe, but costly.
