Yes, actually you don't get shingles if you have NOT had chickenpox (if I understand correctly). It's one of the reasons I never got the vaccine as I didn't think I ever had chickenpox but my primary doctor said it's odd for adults not to have had it so did a blood test and seems that I did indeed have chickenpox. After that the virus lives inside your body. Also, you can get shingles more than once.
