Are vaccines effective before or after infection?
Vaccines are used to prevent infection; to create immunity so you do not get the infectious disease if you are later exposed to it after the vaccination has rendered you immune. If you already have caught the infection, vaccines will not be needed since the infection itself will provide immunity once the sickness is over. Anti-viral medicines are used after an infection to lessen the symptoms and speed recovery. See the related questions below for additional information.

The body then produces memory cells so that the body has an immunity against the virus or bacteria (note that this immunity may not last a lifetime).
