...but we are now seeing it in individuals as young as 35,” Dr. Diwan points out, ***adding that the trend is likely due to the common use of the chickenpox vaccine, which has paradoxically led to decreased immunity to shingles.

Anyone have a source other than Diwan for this claim?

Question: Can a person get shingles if they have had chickenpox disease or varicella vaccination?

Answer: Yes. The same virus that causes chickenpox (the varicella-zoster virus) causes shingles. For some people who have had chickenpox, the virus can become active again later in life and cause a painful rash with blisters called shingles.

People can also get shingles after getting the chickenpox (varicella) vaccine. However, people who get the chickenpox vaccine are less likely to have shingles later in life than people who have had chickenpox disease.
