Vaccine shedding

Vaccine shedding is a term used to describe what happens when a person gets a vaccine and their body starts to create a small amount of the virus or bacteria (germ) that is in the vaccine. This can happen for a few weeks after the person gets the vaccine. It is important to know about this because it means the person can spread the germ to other people, even if they don't have any symptoms. So, it is best to avoid close contact with people for a few weeks after getting the vaccine to make sure that the germ isn't spread.
