I don't know if it is live virus or not. But shingles is chickenpox. If you've had chickenpox, you have the virus in your body. The problem is that your immunity to the virus decreases over time and the virus can reappear.
So if you get a shingles shot, it just gives a boost to your immune system. But that, too, will fade with time.
