covid vaccine=covid?

Question

My toddlers daycare teacher got the covid vaccine last Thursday and by Monday had covid symptoms. The center immediately closed the classroom and the teacher got tested..the results came back positive. My little ones doing ok and no symptoms so far. The teachers and all admin staff wear masks.  I’m just curious if the vaccine caused covid, is that even possible? I don’t know anyone else who got vaccinated and haven’t read up on it much.

Accepted Answer

The vaccine does not contain the virus, so it won't cause COVID. She was probably exposed shortly before or after receiving the vaccine and it was just coincidence.

Answer

No that's not possible. It also takes two weeks after one dose to achieve partial protection and two weeks after the second dose to achieve maximum protection. 
With the timeline she was likely already infected when she got the vaccine.

Answer

Vaccines are not instantaneous. You are not immune several days after the dose or doses. You still can contract Covid-19 in this period. Vaccines are only instantaneous in the movies.

Answer

The vaccine does not include a live virus and absolutely cannot cause Covid. However, the vaccine takes time to become effective and is not fully effective until about 2 weeks after the second dose. She likely just got Covid before her vaccine became effective enough to protect from it, or she was already infected before getting the vaccine.

Answer

Just came here to say I love all these responses 👏👏👏 thanks to this community for helping to spread this important information without judgement.

Answer

No she just didn’t have time to build up immunity. The vaccine does not contain virus.

Answer

You dont get symptoms until 2 weeks after infection so no. She would have been infected about 1 1/2 weeks before getting the vaccine if she had symptoms a few days later.

Answer

The vaccine does not cause covid 🤦‍♀️ she was either exposed before getting her vaccine, or shortly after before it was effective. It’s just unfortunate timing.

Answer

A friend of mine is a teacher and got her first vaccine last week, confirmed with covid last Saturday. She thinks she was exposed at school. So far she has a mild case. I hung out with her Friday! We were outside walking the dogs together, not wearing masks we weren’t closer than 3 feet to each other.... so far I’m fine, and scheduled for my 1st shot in 2 weeks. Fingers crossed i didn’t catch it.

Answer

No it does not cause Covid as it doesn’t contain the virus in the vaccine. It was purely coincidental. They explain very clearly that the vaccine takes time to become effective, and that you come in contact with the virus shortly before or after the vaccine, you can still get the virus.
