Shingles vaccinations are for older-ish adults because they were born before varicella (chickenpox) vaccinations were part of standard childhood vaccinations. If you get your childhood varicella vaccination, your chance of getting chickenpox is essentially eliminated, and therefore you can’t get shingles (because it is a reactivation of chickenpox)
