Yes and no. Shingles, itself, cannot be directly transferred from one person to another. However, shingles can be transferred to someone in the form of chickenpox. But, in order for this to happen, the affected person must make direct contact with the active blisters and must have never had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine in the past.
