You have questions, we have the answers! #thread 🧵 we were recently asked “If I get the vaccine, can I still get #COVID19?” Well yes, and here’s why.
Alright lest go back to immunology 101 and correct me if I’m wrong on any point, it’s been a hott min.
The first thing you need to know is that a vaccine needs about 3 weeks to get your body ready to fend off the virus.

This 3 weeks is important, during that time, we’re you exposed to #COVID19 the day you got the shot, a week later or 2 weeks later? The timing matters as to how many antibodies your body has to work with.
Day 1- 0
Week 1- a bit
Week 2- probably enough
Week 3- full strength
Day 1- 0
Week 1- a bit
Week 2- probably enough
Week 3- full strength
The other factor is, did the vaccine take? Do you have the titers that say your body worked with the vaccine and did what it was told to? 
If not, you could still get #Covid_19
What does all this means, well...
When you get the vaccine, you will still have to wear a mask and chill for a bit. It’s not a fucking shore pass ppl. And after 3 weeks & if you have titers you will still have to be cautious. If the virus mutates enough, you may get it again.
