The CDC previously recommended people wait 14 days after the COVID-19 vaccine before getting other vaccines. Recommendations have been updated. CDC officials now say it’s OK to get the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as other vaccines.
If you have recovered from the shingles vaccine, you should be ready for the booster shot. I agree with @tolson24 that you might wish to confirm with your doctor especially you have any underlying conditions.

I would specifically discuss with your doctor. We had decided to get my annual flu shot first then in one month which lined up with my 3rd shot Pfizer booster (which kicked my but for five days...3 more days than the first two but am grateful to be fully vaccinated) and then waited at least 4 weeks before getting my first of two shingles shot which only gave me a painful arm. I can get my second shingles shot two months past the first one.
