Shingles
Frequently Asked Questions
6. I have never had chickenpox. How careful
must I be to avoid getting shingles from somebody?
Unlike chickenpox, with shingles, the virus is NOT transmitted by
someone breathing or coughing on you. You have to come in contact
with the blister fluid itself. Once the blisters scab over, the
contagious period is ended. (Answer continues on next
page.)
