Vaccine
Official Audio Prompt
Host: Let's say you get vaccinated, but you still end up getting sick a few days later. Why does that happen? Speaker: Let's say you get on the first dose of the vaccine, um, well, after your first dose, you somewhere in like the 50 range in terms of your protection, so you could still get, get the, um, and get the infection, so that in itself is still possible. Um, let's say you got the second dose and then right after it, you get sick. It's very likely that you hadn't yet built up your, your full immunity. Remember, after you get your second dose, you're gonna need about, you know, a few weeks, like two weeks or so to really be at that full immunity state. Um, so that's another thing to keep in mind. Remember that this vaccine, no vaccine to date is 100%, effective. So there is still some small chance that someone could could get sick, but the likelihood that they will get very sick, meaning sick enough to require hospitalization, is almost zero.
