vaccination had expired, or whatever it does. i guess for some people, they get the shot and the vaccination goes away after time. i had to get another. maybe it is the same with this one.

i wonder about giving the boys chicken pox for this reason. and much worse to get it as an adult, especially for a man, than as a child.
