What is the Difference between pre exposure prophylaxis and post exposure prophylaxis?
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive strategy for individuals at high risk of HIV infection, involving the daily use of antiretroviral medication to reduce the likelihood of acquiring the virus. In contrast, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is an emergency treatment initiated within 72 hours after potential HIV exposure, typically involving a 28-day course of antiretroviral drugs to prevent infection. While PrEP is a proactive approach for ongoing risk, PEP is reactive and meant for specific instances of exposure.

This depends upon which vaccine you are asking about.

What is PEP?
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is any prophylactic treatment, given shortly after a high-risk exposure to an infectious disease, in order to prevent the recipient from becoming infected. In the case of exposure to HIV, post exposure prophylaxis consists of a one month long course of antiretroviral drugs, which then seems to dramatically reduce the risk of seroconversion. To be effective, it must be started as soon as possible after exposure - ideally within hours, but in no event later than 72 hours. PEP should not been seen as an easy alternative to safer sex precautions. The regimen is demanding and the unpleasant side effects (e.g. malaise, fatigue, diarrhoea, headaches, dizziness, insomnia, nausea and vomiting) can be very debilitating.
