What Happens in the Minutes, Hours, and Days After You Get a Vaccine?

Vaccines are designed to protect you from a virus and the way that they succeed is by firing up the immune system. In this episode of SICK, we walk through how a vaccine prepares the body to fight off the COVID-19 virus and why it can cause some unpleasant side effects.

Vaccines are designed to protect you from a virus and the way that they succeed is by getting the immune system all worked up.

But this is exactly what causes those unpleasant side effects that can knock you off your game for a day or two. So while the fatigue, headache and low-grade fever are no fun… they can actually be proof that the vaccine is doing its job… and doing it well.

Your immune system is actually already quite good at getting rid of viruses. But it isn’t all-knowing and when it encounters a new virus like the one that causes COVID-19, it needs to be taught some new tricks.

And the best way to do this is through a vaccine that tells your body what to do if it encounters the virus, essentially creating what’s called a memory response. But how exactly does a vaccine do this? Well, it might help to start with an understanding of how the immune response works.

Immune response in COVID-19: A review
This review presents a brief overview of the immune system regarding its protection of the human body from COVID-19; illustrates the process of the immune system, how it works, and its mechanism to fight virus; and presents information on the most recent COVID-19 treatments and experimental data.

T Cell Memory: Understanding COVID-19
As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has progressed, increasing attention has focused on establishing natural and vaccine-induced immunity against this coronavirus and the disease, COVID-19, that it causes. In this Primer, we explain the fundamental features of T cell memory and their potential relevance for effective immunity to SARS-CoV-2.

Innate immune recognition
The innate immune system is a universal and ancient form of host defense against infection. Innate immune recognition relies on a limited number of germline-encoded receptors. These receptors evolved to recognize conserved products of microbial metabolism produced by microbial pathogens, but not by the host.

Got my 2nd dose of Pfizer 2 weeks ago and my 5G reception is great,
Unfortunately I may have to see my doctor because I still haven't developed Windows 11.

[AMalas]

Im pretty sure the question in the title wasn't answered, yes we saw the steps, but not the timeline or any other relevant information. Like, what actually happens in a hour or a day, and is your immune system "stronger" or "weaker"

[yuditharie]

While you explaining about cells, my brain show them as Cells at Work characters 😀

[jerrinfrancis]

I really liked the simple explanation provided by the expert using analogies.

[Smth-perator]

This episode was reminiscent of an 80's series called Once upon a time... the life (Il était une fois... la vie).

[klemitia]

Why not talk about where the nano-lipid envelope accumulates in the body? It was supposed to stay in the deltoid Oopsie

[curtisdaniel]

An excellent intro to immunity and vaccines!! Great Work Seeker. Mille Grazie!

[krishnendubhattacharya]

This video is pretty awesome guys😍!Really Love it.

[kuda]

Is there anything that was learned from developing these vaccines that could contribute to the fight against HIV/AIDS?

[deephazarika]

how are the different types of vaccines work? i have seen videos describing the difference in terms of the initial process, ie mRNA uses the body itself to create virus proteins whereas other vaccines have some form of the virus protein in it. but it seems the working process itself is different. eg why mRNA gap between 2 doses is less compared to the virus vector vaccine?

When are you going to make a video of the Seeker Staff eating bugs?

[grafikal]

I had back pain for 2 days after the vaccine but no fever or any other symptoms

[Alexe]

Hi Rick, Have you read any research on cell mitochondria ↓↓↓. showing up in blood work?
Det. Effects?

[EmilyJelassi]

Could you please do a video about people who are missing proteins in their DNA? I recently found out that I'm missing 2 of the 4 proteins; it explains my weak immune system. I've tried to learn more about it, but there's very little out there on this that a patient would understand.

[dallatorretdu]

Would have loved a much more in depth explanation on the white cells part

[laxmanpaswan]

In an accident, I got fractured in my skull.

After the operation, there will be some empty bone space in the skull.


I want to Epi bone ( stem cell) for my skull

[TheyCallMeNewb]

Great and relevant experts on this series.

[TeamLegacyFTW]

Better since there's no host/hostess cuts..

[martingoldfire]

1:22 That's one of the bad guys in the classic 1939 Gulliver's Travels movie. Weird choice of footage, but at least I got to do some thinking as to what he'd represent in the context of the vaccine.

Why not explain about natural immunizations and how they work. The way people are told to mask up, stay alone and sanitize everything will do nothing but make a world of people with no immunities developed.
