I think the figures from Israel show you are at increased risk of infection for the first week after the vaccine is administered. Presumably because people are already starting to change their behaviour.



Is it possible the immune response initially from the virus causes strain on the body and temporarily and paradoxically makes it more susceptible ?

The immune system can be weakened from a bunch of things, including lack of sleep and stress and other infections.


It could also be because people got contaminated IN vaccination centers when coming for their first vaccine dose. Told from a doctor working in Israel.


The vaccination locations are the largest group of people anyone I know how been around in a year. Dozens of people coming in and out of a room every 15 minutes, plus having to sit next to strangers for 15 minutes to make sure you don't have an adverse reaction is a larger risk than most take ever.


I've worked several full days at a vaccination center in Michigan. It's quite crowded, something like a grocery store. It wouldn't surprise me if there was some spread there.
