You can get pregnant after having shingles.
You can become pregnant if you have shingles.
Shingles is contagious from the time the rash appears until the blisters have crusted over. If a pregnant woman has never had chickenpox or the varicella vaccine, she can contract chickenpox from someone with shingles. However, if she has had chickenpox or the vaccine, she is not at risk. It's important for pregnant women to avoid exposure to shingles to prevent complications.
Do you mean shingles? Your question isn't clear. If you do mean shingles the virus can be passed on by direct contact with fluid from the shingles blisters, until they dry up and crust over. If your sister is pregnant then you or anyone else who have shingles should avoid contact with her as she would be at risk of catching shingles.
At least a few months
A person with shingles needs to take precautions around a pregnant woman without evidence of immunity to chicken pox. The pregnant woman should discuss the matter with her health care provider, who may have checked immunity at the preconception visit or a prenatal visit. Because typical shingles is communicable only by direct contact with lesions, even health care workers with typical shingles (not severe) are allowed to work as long as the sores can be covered.
I've heard that you should not be around children or pregnant women for 4 weeks after receiving the shingles vaccine - is that true?
Shingles is not contagious -- it can't be "caught" from someone else. People with shingles can give you chickenpox if you haven't had it. See related link below for information on transmitting shingles
