What would happen to someone who has had the Influenza vaccine (flu jab) when Influenza infects him/her. Oppose to someone who didn't have any vaccine against the virus.

I need a scientific answer oppose to a NHS answer.

I know that white blood cells would have already produced antibodies for Influenza, but would that be enough to be totally virus free?

Thanks!

There bodies would be full of antibodies for whatever strain of flu they got vaccinated by.



*IF* the strain they were infected by happened to be a strain they were vaccinated against, the antibodies would instantly start attaching to the virus. The antibodies would function as targets and the white blood cells would attack the viruses that had been tagged by the antibodies. This means your adaptive immune system has a "head start".



If you have a strong enough immune system, your body might wipe out the virus before you notice you are sick. If your immune system is weak, you might get sick anyway.)



If you weren't vaccinated, your immune system might not notice and start fighting it until you start feeling sick, and the adaptive immune system can take weeks to get involved. (Usually the innate immune system handles the problem before then, but you feel sick when your innate immune system activates.

i think of there are 5 diverse agencies making the vaccine. they could all use diverse how you could develop the virus and that they could all use diverse ingredients which includes mercury or squalene to assist the effect of the vaccine or to assist the vaccine stretch extra. i found a stable information superhighway internet site listed under so as which you will get greater recommendations concerning the vaccine. i would not take it as a results of fact i think of it is all hype for earnings and that i think of the climate ought to pose a threat to the ordinary public.
