	There is no way to prevent shingles.
	You cannot get shingles from someone else with shingles.
	If you’ve had Chicken Pox, you can get shingles.
	In May 2006, the Food and Drug Administration approved use of a vaccine, called Zostavax, to prevent shingles.
	The vaccine is recommended for people 60 years of age and older who have had chickenpox but who have not had shingles.
	Researchers estimate the vaccine could prevent 250,000 cases of shingles in the United States each year
	The vaccine could also significantly reduce the severity of the disease in another 250,000 cases annually.
