Original Note:
Shingles is caused by the same virus (VZV) that causes chickenpox. Once contracted, even as a kid, the virus remains in the body for life and can flare up as an adult (tho a shingles vaccine is available). There is no link in shingles outbreaks to getting the covid vaccine. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/shingles/symptoms-causes/syc-20353054 https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/featured-topic/covid-19-vaccine-myths-debunked
