You can get shingles at any age. It's not particularly uncommon to see it in people who are 30s-40s. It is typically seen in older patients though and not currently recommended to get vaccinated if you are younger than 50. Younger patients have less severe disease for the most part. You can also get shingles multiple times, so if you do get it once, you should be vaccinated anyway.
