Vaccinations and why, sentence 1

If the real germ turns up later, the body knows it at once and wins before you get properly ill, which is why a jab protects you for years.

Who acts: real germ, body, you, jab · What happens: turn up, know, win, get, be, protect · To what, where: germ, you

This is a sentence of the lesson «Vaccinations and why» of the medicine course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (real germ, body, you, jab), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
