Can i catch chicken pox from shingles?I have never had chicken pox before but have taken the vaccination?

I was exposed to a friend with shingles about one day before the blisters developed and I am worried that I may catch chicken pox because though I am vaccinated i never had it before. This exposure happened 5 days back and I am absolutely fine now. will i catch chicken pox ? will i see any symptoms after about 5-10 days ? I have also been taking care of the patient however after having known that he is infected with shingles, I have been very cautious.
