A member asked:
If youve been exposed to covid, should you get the covid vaccine if your test is negative three days after exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It takes up to 10 days after exposure for symptoms to occur. Some new strains only 3 days. It's best to get the vaccine at your age, or be tested if any symptoms arise. A negative test is good but being unvaccinated you are more susceptible to Covid and at your age it is dangerous.
