Vaccine

I'm only asking because I have a high risk daughter, I know these posts are annoying, so...

I had the H1N1 Vaccine last Monday (before Halloween) Then on Halloween, I was hanging out with someone all night that got sick a day later with the H1N1 virus, and it was confirmed. My question is.... Since I heard it takes 7-10 days for you to actually end up with the swineflu after exposure.. Would I be fine? I just want to go home to see my daughter, but do not want to be around her if I'd be spreading it (She also had the vaccine).

I would assume the vaccine would protect both you and her?

Quoting Witty Screen Name:“ I would assume the vaccine would protect both you and her?”

It wasn't effective on Halloween when I was exposed.. Or wouldn't that make a difference.. I heard it takes 10 days for hte vaccine to be effective, and if it's in my system making itself into what it will be... Then I have to be worried..

Just curious where is ur baby?? You havent been around her since Halloween??? Id die without seeing my girl LOL....daddy gave her the flu and then she gave it to me, we each caught it exactly within a day from each other, and we didnt have the flu shot none of us. If your feeling fine then I think your ok, do you feel sick at all?
