According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1 out of every 3 people in the United States will develop shingles, also known as herpes zoster, in their lifetime. An estimated 1 million people in the country get shingles each year. Children can get shingles, although your risk increases as you get older. You can get shingles even if you previously had chickenpox, and it's possible to get shingles more than once.
