It takes about two weeks for the antibodies to build up after vaccination. What I said earlier was that a case of the flu two months later had nothing to do with the shot. You caught a sickness that wasn't covered by the specific vaccine you received. As jono pointed out, what made you sick might not even have been influenza.
