Takes up to a few weeks from being exposed, before you present symtoms, and you won't present symptoms just a couple of days after exposure. So if he got sick within a few days of getting the shot, it means he was already sick before he got the shot. He just didn't have symptoms yet.

The vaccine is a preventative, not a treatment.
