Best Answer

The time it takes to create a vaccine depends on how much is known about the antigen (or pathogen), how much testing is required and the way in which the vaccine is produces. New vaccines can be produces in as little as 8 - 10 months. Several countries come out with a new flu vaccine every year and people are advised to get immunized. If however, not much is known about the pathogen and human trials have to be carried out, it takes 3 - 7 years to come out with a vaccine that can go on the market. Vaccine manufacture has a huge amount of regulation and this factor adds to the time it takes for a vaccine to get on the shelf. Although a scientific breakthrough may come sooner than expected, clinical trials and product validation are long drawn processes that must not be surpassed.

How many seconds is a vaccine?

A vaccine is a medicine for immunity and does not have "seconds". If you mean how many seconds does it take for the vaccine to be administered, then the injection of a vaccine usually only takes 5-10 seconds to put the vaccine into your body with a needle since the amount of vaccine needed is so small. If the vaccine is available in a nasal mist, the inhalation of a nasal mist takes as long as it takes for you to sniff. If you mean how long will the immunity last before you need a booster vaccination, you should check with your doctor about the type of vaccine you are getting (e.g. influenza, bacterial pneumonia, etc.). Depending on your age and the type of vaccine, some vaccinations need boosters every so often. Your doctor can tell you how long the one you are getting lasts.
