not really, most adults only experience shingles once. It is almost unheard of to have them twice.

Vaccines are ineffective as a post exposure therapy so no it will not be advisable to get the vaccine She will likely now have life time immunity to the virus.

I would ask you doctor. I have had three bouts - I have a compromised immune system due to Lupus, so it maybe different for me.
