The other reason why you get flu after vaccination	by morenna	2009-10-26 16:58:14
It takes 8-14 days following vaccination with flu vaccine to produce a protective level of antibodies. If you happen to come across a flu bug in the meantime, you're still fair game. :o) Technically vaccination does not prevent infection. It merely allows your body to react more quickly to the infectious agent and spank it back into submission more rapidly than if your immune system hadn't been primed first. The end result may be no clinical illness or it may be a milder, shorter course of disease. With influenza, there's also the chance that you came across a virus that doesn't match the vaccine you were given (we had a bad mis-match a couple years ago).
