No you can not catch shingles, the only way someone gets shingles is if they have already have had chicken pox. The virus lies dormant in the spine and something such as stress or low immunity triggers it and one gets shingles. During the contagious phase of shingles one can give the varicella virus (what causes chicken pox) to those who are not vaccinated or have not had chicken pox before.

Shingles is an infectious disease so it is very possible to catch shingles from someone else specially if you had chicken pox before.
