Here's what I know about shingles being contagious. Shingles itself is not contagious. However, if a person never had chicken pox or the vaccine for chicken pox, if they have direct contact (skin to skin) they will get chicken pox, not shingles. If a person has had chicken pox or the vaccine, they will not get anything. I researched it on the internet for my sister when her husband was so bad.
