Answer 1

i remember the way the liquid was being injected in and the unusual buldge it made.

Answer 2

The chicken pox vaccine is given in two doses, so if you get both doses, its supposedly good for life. The rubella vaccine is given with the combination Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccine also called the MMR vaccination. It's also given in two doses and supposedly good for a lifetime. A Smallpox vaccination was supposed to give good immunity for up to 10 years. It's no longer given to the public (since 1972). No vaccine is perfect so immunity can wane over years. There's no danger in getting either vaccine again or you could get a blood test to check for antibody titers.
