In reply to the discussion: Question about Covid [View all]wnylib
(21,433 posts)61. According to what I've read,
the time when vaccines are most protective against getting infected is two weeks after getting the vaccine (after the 2nd shot for mRNA vaccines) or booster up to a couple months. But that's variable, too, because people's immune systems can respond differently to vaccines and boosters. Older people and those with compromised immune systems often do not produce as many antibodies in response to vaccines as you get people do.
I would not count on the vaccines and boosters for prevention of infection since too many vaccinated, healthy people have been infected. The vaccines are very good at preventing severe illness and death in most people.
