Default Just replace one shock or both?

I just recently installed new 2000 SI shocks on my 99 hatch, but one of the rears was blown. It's been this way for about 1-2 weeks now, but I'm looking for a replacement shock.

Is it necessary to replace both rear shocks if just one is blown? If I replace the blown one, will the other one go out in a short matter of time?

Thanks... for the noob question. Just trying to have peace of mind.

So if one strut is blown it's not going to cause the other strut to blow/wear faster?
