Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Is it possible for my child to still contract the disease they were vaccinated against? I'm concerned about the effectiveness of the vaccine.
Answered by Dr. Juliana Neira
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Vaccines are designed to provide strong protection against specific diseases, but no vaccine is 100% effective. In rare cases, it is still possible for a vaccinated child to contract the disease, but the symptoms are usually milder and the risk of severe complications is significantly reduced. It's important to follow up with your child’s pediatrician if you have concerns about their health.
Thanks
