I got the two injection (as Gloaming noted) Shingrix set about a year ago and did not notice anything untoward. I'm selective with vaccines and did notice an association of increased afib with C19 vaxes. Having a genetic risk and family association with Alzheimer's, the data suggesting a 25% reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease for those having the vaccine convinced me to get the set.

Study publication
"Folks who received the Tdap/Td vaccine to protect against tetanus and diphtheria were 30% less likely than their unvaccinated peers to develop Alzheimer’s disease, according to the research. About 7% of vaccinated patients developed Alzheimer's versus 10% of unvaccinated patients.
Shingles vaccination was associated with a 25% reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (8% of vaccinated patients versus 11% of unvaccinated patients). The pneumococcal vaccine was associated with a 27% lower risk of developing the disease (8% of vaccinated patients versus 11% of unvaccinated patients)." Article
I also got the Tdap about 20 months ago without issue. There are also data similarly on the TB (BCG) vaccine.

Wonder if anybody had it?Quote
VZV IgG antibody testing can be used, along with IgM testing, to help confirm the presence of a recent or previous VZV infection. Viral detection involves finding VZV in a blood, fluid, or tissue sample. This can be done either by culturing the virus or by detecting the virus's genetic material (VZV DNA).6 Oct 2023

As others have noted, it is not something you'd want to experience.

Something like 97% of the population is positive for varicella antibodies, so there's almost no point in asking if someone had it. The answer is yes, even if they don't remember.
