Question: When you get side effects like these, does it mean the vaccine didn't work or is it working?. Response: Disclaimer provided. She asked is the vaccine working if she didn't have any side effects?. If a vaccine does not cause any side effects, to our knowledge, this is not related to the dose being less effective than what would be expected in a patient who did have side effects.
