Perhaps her body is more susceptible to it than most people and the vaccine is actually causing her to have symptoms. Most vaccines are not actually dead virus'. They are weakened forms of the virus. She may have a weaker immune system that can not fight off the virus, even in its weakened state. Taking a vaccine comes with a risk, and so does not taking it. This is why it is a personal choice.
