You make an excellent observation because the original vaccine was live virus, although attenuated. The "new" Shingrix vaccine is NOT live virus, but recombinant and delivered in 2 doses. It's typically available to anyone over 50.

@terry1976 They say you can get shot #2 60 days after shot #1. I did that and was terribly sick for 3 days with shot #2. After I recovered I spoke with my doctor about it and he said I should have waited 4 to 6 months for shot #2. My wife followed his advise and waited 6 months between shots had no issues with shot #2.
