Hello im getting a vaccine today at 1 pm but tonight at 8:35 i will fast 25 hours will it affect the effectiveness of the vaccine?

Vaccination: It should not effect the vaccine. However, if you are at all lightheaded due to lack of food at time of vaccine, you might wish to lie down or sit when it is given.
