Rather than presume immunity, and because it was required for all children to be vaccinated in order to enter school, you still had to be vaccinated. If you've already had measles, your body has built up its immune system to fight the infection, and you can't get measles again.
When people get chickenpox, the virus remains in the body. It can be reactivated years later and cause shingles if someone's immune system is weakened or with aging.
