No, shingles is not caused by having had measles. Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in the nervous system and can reactivate later in life, leading to shingles. Measles, on the other hand, is caused by a different virus and does not have a direct connection to shingles.
