Yes, Hello! Is There A Contraindication For The Shingrix Vaccine

Yes, Hello!
Is there a contraindication for the Shingrix vaccine with certain medications like tamoxifin 20 mg?
Both my husband and I had the old vaccine in our late 50's ~ 5 years ago. Does this vaccine (dual dosage) act as a booster shot?
Is the efficacy greater than the 50% protection offered by the old one?
How new is this vaccine...I usu wait until a vaccine/ or any drug is out for a while as I don't want to be a guinea pig.
Thank you!
