Can a Flu shot lead to Shingles?

Read through pages of comments and felt compelled to add my anecdotal evidence. Received a free flu shot, as I work in healthcare, and developed shingles approximately 10 days later accompanied by vertigo. I was 26 years old at the time and extremely healthy. I compete in Olympic-style weightlifting and monitor virtually every aspect of my health including diet, exercise, behavior, etc. This was my first flu shot and fist time getting shingles. Previously, I hadn't even had a cold for 4-5 years so I'm quite certain my immune system was not comprised. I have no family history of shingles.

I find the timely to be extremely suspicious.

After reading all the above, I am obliged to add my experience.
As a child I had chicken pox. I a 81 years old and very healthy. Work out at the gym every other day. I had a shingles vaccination two years ago. A little over two weeks ago I had the high dose flue shot. a few days ago I contracted shingles. Exactly two weeks after the flue shots! Not much doubt in my mind that the one caused the other! My Dermatologist has me on Valacyclovir pills, 3 a day for a week. Hope this benefits someone.

I had a high dose flu shot on 9/27/2017 and started itching two days later and the shingles rash appeared on 9/30/2017. I have had the flu shot for many years but this is the first year for the high dose one. I am convinced the shingles are from the high dose shot. I have had the shingles vaccine. No more high dose flu shots for me.

I got flu shot by medical indication because Im pregnant and my doctor said I had to do it. Well after little more than a week I got the flu shot I started to have a rash on the right side of my lower back at first I thought it was mosquito bites but it got worst so I went to the dr and it was shingles. He told me it was not a reaction of the flu shot but Im not sure about it. And even when he said the virus and the treatment wount affect my baby, Im very worried about that

I got my first and only flu shot in 1999 and 3 days later had a shingles outbreak. I have been dealing with chronic shingles since, by chronic every 6 to 8 weeks. I asked Dr if flu shot could be cause and his response was "no." I also ended up very sick just hours after the flu shot. I had no symptoms of an oncoming cold/flu as I usually do, it was like all symptoms hit me at once. I searched for a correlation for years. Now it seems this has been a problem for many years. I currently take 400 mg acyclovir daily to keep them at bay. My vaccine was administered by VA hospital.

Are there any answers! I had a flu shot last week and 3 days later, pain and then the telltale rash across my back. I will be really hesitant to get a flu shot next year! Didn't have the shingles vaccine because I watch my grandkids and they haven't had their chicken pox vaccines yet ( and the shingles vaccine is a live vaccine).

I got the high dose flu shot in late October 2016 and 2 weeks later got the shingles for the second time! Now, I'm hesitant to get the shot next year!
