Question

Pratha’s first dose of COVID-19 vaccine was scheduled on 28 January 2022. She was diagnosed with COVID-19 disease on 19 January 2022. Should she have gone for her vaccine and why?

• A. No; vaccines are harmful for the body.
• B. No; she already has antibodies.
• C. Yes; she needs protection from COVID-19 in future.
• D. Yes; the date was already scheduled.

Answer 1

The correct option is B No; she already has antibodies.

Vaccines are taken to help generate antibodies that can fight antigens in the body. Antibodies are produced in the body when the body is infected by the disease antigens. Since Pratha’s body already has the antibodies to fight against COVID-19, she need not take the vaccine immediately. Pratha can take the vaccine after a few months.
