Basically, Bare and Judy, the answer as far as I can tell is, who knows.

From Harvard Health Letter "...So there's no easy answer to whether people who have had shingles should get the shingles vaccine. Some pretty good data suggest that the risk of recurrence is quite high and, particularly if you've had a bad case, getting the vaccination would seem to be a prudent precaution. But it's also possible to make a case for the evidence not being all that solid."
