Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

No I don't think you are having relapse of singles because your have taken vaccine for this. In my opinion, you are mostly having early herpes zoster. It is quite common in thoracic dermatomes. So better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of skin lesions. You might need acyclovir (anti viral) tablets and steroid cream (Mometasone) for local application. Ice packs locally will also be helpful in relieving pain.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
