WEBVTT 00:08.940 --> 00:12.110 are you going to be contagious ? So the 00:12.110 --> 00:13.888 short answer is no . You're not 00:13.888 --> 00:16.054 contagious because you did not get the 00:16.054 --> 00:18.166 virus . You've just got the vaccine , 00:18.440 --> 00:20.480 and that vaccine has just the one 00:20.480 --> 00:23.240 protein that pro the vaccine goes in 00:23.240 --> 00:25.620 your arm where it makes the protein in 00:25.620 --> 00:28.440 your body makes a response , and it 00:28.440 --> 00:30.662 makes antibodies . That protein doesn't 00:30.662 --> 00:32.829 really get anywhere else , doesn't get 00:32.829 --> 00:34.940 your lungs . It doesn't get your nose 00:34.940 --> 00:37.162 etcetera . So the vaccine does not make 00:37.162 --> 00:39.384 you contagious . But the other question 00:39.384 --> 00:41.607 that sometimes is being asked it sounds 00:41.607 --> 00:43.607 very similar is Do I have to wear a 00:43.607 --> 00:45.662 mask after I got the vaccine and the 00:45.662 --> 00:47.718 vaccine is worked ? Why do I have to 00:47.718 --> 00:49.910 wear a mask ? And that's because when 00:49.910 --> 00:52.190 you get a vaccine vs when you get 00:52.190 --> 00:54.640 infected with the actual virus , your 00:54.640 --> 00:57.160 body's immune system with again many 00:57.160 --> 00:59.438 weapons creates a different antibodies . 00:59.940 --> 01:02.107 So when you get this shot in the arm , 01:02.110 --> 01:04.500 it predominantly makes one antibiotic 01:04.500 --> 01:06.910 called E G G , which floats around in 01:06.910 --> 01:09.243 the bloodstream . And that's what helps , 01:09.243 --> 01:11.890 uh , keep you healthy and keep you from 01:11.890 --> 01:13.779 getting something severe , like a 01:13.779 --> 01:15.946 pneumonia when you are infected or get 01:15.946 --> 01:18.570 exposed to the virus after you're 01:18.570 --> 01:22.460 fascinated when you get the virus on 01:22.460 --> 01:24.370 infected with the virus for the 01:24.370 --> 01:26.930 unvaccinated individuals that usually 01:26.930 --> 01:28.930 enters your nose or your mouth . Or 01:28.930 --> 01:31.470 sometimes your eyes and your body's 01:31.480 --> 01:33.790 immune system can recognize that and 01:33.790 --> 01:36.012 mount a defense specifically into those 01:36.012 --> 01:38.070 areas by creating a second antibody 01:38.080 --> 01:41.890 called idea what were and so that I g 01:41.890 --> 01:44.160 A . In the future , that antibody in 01:44.160 --> 01:45.993 the tissues of your nose and now 01:46.140 --> 01:48.910 prevent you from getting it right away 01:48.920 --> 01:52.410 and spreading it in the future . Eso it 01:52.410 --> 01:54.577 has a little bit more sophistication . 01:54.740 --> 01:57.640 What we don't know at this time is with 01:57.640 --> 02:00.070 the research has not shown or hasn't 02:00.070 --> 02:02.126 given us enough time to look at what 02:02.126 --> 02:05.080 kind of idea response the vaccine will 02:05.080 --> 02:08.120 give and whether it will clear , um , 02:08.120 --> 02:11.060 and protect you right away . So you put 02:11.060 --> 02:13.700 after the vaccine you could be 02:13.700 --> 02:17.130 protected from severe illness , but 02:17.140 --> 02:20.180 you may not have the antibodies that 02:20.180 --> 02:22.291 would clear from the nose or from the 02:22.291 --> 02:24.513 mouth , and so you could have you could 02:24.513 --> 02:26.569 be a carrier . You're not infected . 02:26.569 --> 02:28.736 You don't have symptoms that you could 02:28.736 --> 02:30.902 carry it , and it has the potential to 02:30.902 --> 02:32.736 spread it to somebody else who's 02:32.736 --> 02:34.847 unvaccinated . We'll learn more about 02:34.847 --> 02:36.958 that in the near future . Hopefully , 02:36.958 --> 02:36.770 within the next couple months . Studies 02:36.770 --> 02:40.180 Well , be more clear on the protection 02:40.190 --> 02:42.870 of being able to be a carrier that you 02:42.870 --> 02:45.640 are not contagious . Uh , because you 02:45.640 --> 02:48.780 are protected from the vaccine until 02:48.780 --> 02:51.380 next time here . First army always 02:51.380 --> 02:51.860 ready .
