Four things we need to know about vaccinations
– After vaccination, the body needs some weeks to build immunity.
– Vaccination can cause symptoms (such as fever). It is a normal reaction that the body builds protection.
– It is possible for a person to become infected with the virus just before or just after vaccination and get sick.
– This is because the vaccine has not had time to build protection for the body.
