How many seconds is a vaccine?
A vaccine is a medicine for immunity and does not have "seconds".

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.

Rubella immunity refers to the body's ability to resist infection from the rubella virus, which causes the illness known as German measles. This immunity can be acquired through vaccination, typically the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine, or through previous infection with the virus. Individuals with rubella immunity are protected from contracting the disease and are less likely to transmit it, which is particularly important for protecting vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women, who are at risk for severe complications. Testing for rubella immunity is often done in prenatal care to ensure the health of both the mother and the developing fetus.

For typhoid, a booster is recommended every 2 years for those who received the oral vaccine or every 5 years for the injectable vaccine, especially for those at ongoing risk. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
