Answer 1

I read through the responses and notably, my first inclication was not metioned… A vaccine is preventive in nature, enabling your body to fight off a viral infection before it takes hold. However, a vaccine’s effectiveness after an infection may be limited and depends on factors such as the specific virus, its ability to mutate, and the individual’s immune response. While some vaccines may provide some level of protection post-infection, others may offer little to no benefit.
