If you trust the CDC...
https://www.cdc.gov/shingles/about/index.html
About 1 in every 3 people in the United States will have shingles in their lifetime.
If you had chickenpox, you are at risk for shingles.
More than 99% of Americans born before 1980 had chickenpox, even if they don’t remember it.

Yes. Chickenpox was considered an almost mandatory childhood disease when I was growing up.

I already had shingles. Its not the end of the world. Keep your immune system strong and you won’t get them. Vaccines aren’t the answer for everything in life.
