Solution

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.
