No thats incorrect. The adult shingles is caused by the virus latent in the adults bodies that has been there since their childhood when they had chickenpox and recovered. When a person has chickenpox most of the time the virus is not eradicated from their body, but remains latent or asleep in their nerve tissue and when they’re much older and their immune system weakens , the virus wakes up and causes shingles.
The reason there is so much more shingles in the adult population now is because children born after 1995 are getting a chickenpox vaccine, which is preventing them from getting chickenpox. In the past, when older adults were exposed to children with chickenpox, they would get, the older adults would get, an immune boost From being exposed to children with active chickenpox. Now this immune boost does not occur. So it is necessary to boost the adults with a vaccine booster.
The decision to put the chickenpox vaccine on the childhood schedule is definitely a controversial topic. However, it appears now after many years of this, that the incident of shingles in the cohort of people who is vaccinated against chickenpox is actually lower than adults who got regular chickenpox as children?
So it remains to be seen whether or not the rates of shingles in these chickenpox vaccinated individuals will be lower in the future than the current rates of shingles in the older group of patients who never got vaccinated against chickenpox, but instead got the natural infection, but the trend looks very promising.
