Best Answer

In 8 to 10 days after the vaccination in healthy adults and children over 10 years old who have mature immune systems.

It takes children, under age 10 down to infants 6 months old, longer because they need a second "booster" about a month after the first vaccination. They need two due to their weaker immune responses from their immature immune systems. They should be fully immune after another couple of weeks past the second vaccination.

Infants under 6 months old can not take vaccinations yet, the only defenses they will have during that period are those acquired from their mother's milk and that is why parents are advised not to take them out in public unnecessarily where they can be exposed to pathogens until they are at least 6 months old.
