Herpes Zoster is not spread person to person. However, if someone is not immune to varicella and is exposed to zoster, they may develop HZ, but rarely. For localized zoster, transmission occurs through contact with the fluid in the blisters of the rash.She remains contagious until the blisters are dried and crusted over.

May or may not get... depends on your immunity... Mostly not transmits through person to person.. there might be chances if you get in contact with the fluid comes out from the shingles...
