Is is possible (or preferably rather) to help yourself to the vaccine of a sickness if you've already caught it??
Answers:
It may be rather reasonable to get a vaccine depending on the particular ailment. Usually you want to acquire the vaccine before the exposure because the vaccine prepares the immune system to deal with adjectives infections. However, there are exceptions. For example there is a vaccine for shingles, a skin problem for people (usually individuals over 60) who had chicken pox as a child. The infection remains in the body (in the dorsal root ganglia of the at a tangent nervous system) and is not directly exposed to the immune system. However, whenever there is an outbreak on the skin, the vaccine reduce the magnitude and duration of the itching and blistering. Thus vaccines may be useful after an initial exposure. Source(s): I am a physiologist with personal experience.
You can take the vaccine, but it probably won't do anything. If it is something that you can become immune to, the getting sick the first time is usually sufficient to give you imperviousness afterwards (if you have recovered), and you won't need the vaccine. For something like the flu vaccine, you might want to grasp it anyway even if you have already gotten the flu in the same season, because there's no dutiful way to tell if it was indistinguishable strain. The only situation I can think of where you beyond doubt can't get the vaccine is if a second exposure causes some sort of hypersensitivity reaction - but rotten the top of my head, I can't think of any that are like this.
Some of the diseases they have vaccines for have different serotypes, you may have caught one, but not the other(s).
It can't do any impair, and may offer some protection, so I would recommend it.
No. Vaccine's are to prevent you from getting it. If you already enjoy it, you need to be put on antibiotics to treat it. If you've already recovered from it, I'm pretty sure you don't need a vaccine because your body has already accredited the sickness and has produced antibodies against it for future purposes.
