I m 20 years old. i never got chicken pox as a kid. i had taken a vaccine against it some years ago. do i need to take another one?

Possibly: When the vaccine was initially approved in the '90's in the us the original use recommended 2 doses for teens . If you had two doses at least 28 days apart you likely have protection.
