But with all types of vaccines, the body is left with a supply of \u201cmemory\u201d T-lymphocytes as well as B-lymphocytes that will remember how to fight that virus in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">It typically takes a few weeks after vaccination for the body to produce T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes. Therefore, it is possible that a person could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 just before or just after vaccination and then get sick because the vaccine did not have enough time to provide protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">Sometimes after vaccination, the process of building immunity can cause symptoms, such as fever. These symptoms are normal and are signs that the body is building immunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">For More Information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/different-vaccines\/how-they-work.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/different-vaccines\/how-they-work.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How COVID-19 Vaccines Work COVID-19 vaccines help our bodies develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19 without us having to get the illness.
