Most people actually remember, it wasn't a fun time for them and it was an unique enough disease that they remember it (say compared to the common cold).

Plus even if you don't remember, the doctor's office will also have records of the chickenpox vaccine.

50 years ago we were still getting the smallpox vaccine and measles was more of a thing. The measles vaccine was introduced in Australia in 1968.

Nope. 50 years ago is early 70s and late 60s, there was no chickenpox vaccine, just smallpox as a general varicella vaccine.
