Yes, but only if you had a very mild case previously, but its rare to get them twice. I had them at age 10 and again at age 26. Then if you have had a severe case and exposed again to the virus during times of stress or a weakened immune system you can develop shingles.

no, you only get the rash once. the virus can reactivate as shingles later on. If you had not had chicken pox, there is a vaccine available.
