Chickenpox is distributed throughout the body. Typically, shingles is found in a single area and, in its most classic presentation, it doesn't cross the midline (that is, it isn't found on both the left and right sides of the body).

Why should I get the shingles vaccine?

That rather depends. If you've already had Chicken Pox, you're already immunised from shingles. Chicken-Pox & shingles are both caused by the same virus. If you've already had chicken-pox as a youngster, your body is already immune from catching shingles. If not - then just make an appointment with your doctor to have the vaccination.
