Presuming you weren’t already exposed to chicken pox, you will not get shingles. Shingles can only occur if you have the latent chicken pox virus hiding in your body. As you age and your immune system weakens, the suppressed virus begins to reassert itself. But if you never had cp you cant get it.
There is evidence that the shingles vax improves cardiovascular health but that is probably due to a reduction in the latent virus which is causing inflamation. Again this is a problem that isn’t relevant to you if you have no virus. No reason to take shingles vax if you had no CP.
