Drinking alcohol<\/a>, especially hard liquor, is one of the worst things you can do to the body after receiving the vaccine. Drinking post-vaccination may be the worst mistake you make. It doesn\u2019t affect the efficacy of the vaccine, but it can increase the risk of side effects, or worsen the side effects you experience. The side effects of alcohol can compound the side effects of the vaccine, some health experts warn. This can cause extended misery in the form of nausea, body aches, or other flu-like symptoms. Experts advise that if people decide to drink alcohol, they should only consume a small amount about three days after the shot. Some health experts suggest waiting longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t Take Over-The-Counter Meds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s advice circulating the web that suggests people to self-medicate with over-the-counter medications right before or right after the shot. Many of these medications include ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetaminophen. People want to prevent the side effects or reduce them, but these medications can actually reduce the efficacy of the vaccine. They may even interfere with how the vaccine interacts with the body. Health experts say that you should not take these medications preemptively. Should you start experiencing headaches, body aches, or other side effects, then you can take the suggested dose to help the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t Schedule Other Vaccines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend to receive different vaccines around the same time as the COVID-19 vaccine. For example, don\u2019t book a flu shot a few days after or before your COVID-19 shot. There isn\u2019t enough research to determine the potential interactions with multiple vaccines. The CDC suggests that if you want to get another vaccine like the flu shot, leave at least two to three weeks between vaccine appointments. You also should not book a flu vaccine between your two coronavirus vaccine shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t Get A Tattoo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n We know it\u2019s tempting to have more needles jabbed in your body after that initial injection, but don\u2019t do it. The skin is the body\u2019s protective barrier against pathogens or foreign objects. It can trigger immune responses as a result of these encounters. If you get a piercing or tattoo, the skin can trigger these immune responses, which may turn out poorly if you just received the COVID-19 vaccine. There\u2019s no guarantee that this will happen, but experts don\u2019t know enough about it. It\u2019s possible that a tattoo or piercing could trigger an adverse immune response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t Mix Vaccines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This is not the same point we made earlier. If you decide to get a COVID-19 vaccine, the CDC strongly encourages people to pay attention to the vaccine they receive. The current vaccines are Pfizer and Moderna<\/a>, which involve two doses, and the Johnson & Johnson, which only requires a single shot. If you opt for either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccine, it\u2019s imperative to receive the same vaccine for the first and second dose. Don\u2019t get a Pfizer shot and a Moderna shot a month later. Stick to the same vaccine to ensure optimum efficacy. <\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
