You can't give someone else shingles. If you have shingles and are in contact with someone who hasnât had chickenpox or wasn't vaccinated for chickenpox, you can give that person chickenpox. That person would have to come in direct contact with your shingles rash. If you have shingles without a rash, you shouldnât be able to pass it to others.
