You can either get the vaccines again or get the blood tests. Depending on where you go one might be cheaper than the other. You might try your local health department. For TB you will need a skin test.
Once you get the results of tests, or get the shots again, make sure you keep the records where you can find them. You will need them again if you enroll in school.
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
