vicky got a \flu\ vaccine on monday. wednesday she visited her friend who was sick with the flu. vicky was upset when 2 days later she also came down with the flu. use your mi knowledge to explain to vicky why she got sick despite being vaccinated?
your body didnt have time to produce enough antibodies after the vaccination.
you were probably given a generic vaccination rather than a name - brand one.
in general, vaccines arent very effective at preventing illness.
vaccines are intended to make you sick before they make you better.

Explanation:

When a person gets a vaccine, the body needs time to build up an immune response. This involves the production of antibodies. In Vicky's case, getting the flu vaccine on Monday and then being exposed to the flu virus on Wednesday (and getting sick 2 days later - Friday) means there wasn't enough time for her body to produce sufficient antibodies from the vaccine to effectively fight off the virus. Generic vs name - brand vaccines (if they are properly formulated) don't have a major impact on immediate immunity. Vaccines are generally effective at preventing illness when the immune system has had time to respond. And vaccines are not intended to make a person sick; they are intended to stimulate immunity without causing full - blown illness.

Answer:

Your body didn't have time to produce enough antibodies after the vaccination.
