Questions & Answers about Depois da vacina, eu descansei em casa para que eu não ficasse mal.
Yes. In Portuguese it’s common to use the noun a vacina to mean the event/act of vaccination. So depois da vacina naturally means “after the vaccination/after getting vaccinated,” depending on context.
- Depois da vacina = shorter, more general; “after the vaccination / after the shot.”
- Depois que tomei a vacina = explicitly says you took/received it; more specific and very natural in speech. Both are correct; the second is more explicit about the action.
