Introduction: Exercise will promote the speed of flow of our blood and lymph, which can increase the circulation rate of immune cells to a certain extent, increase the probability and frequency of immune cells meeting outsiders whose vaccines are injected into the human body, thereby increasing the activity of immune cells and increasing the effect of human antibodies----Doctor Tong
We have always been advised to give the injected persons after getting the vaccine, but a recent study by Iowa State University found that mild or moderate exercise for up to 90 minutes after being injected with flu or COVID-19 vaccine in is an additional immunity , which can increase the body's extra immunity. This discovery may overturn humans' past understanding of precautions after vaccination.
In fact, people have been enhancing the effectiveness of the vaccine by adding some "adjuvant" to the vaccine a long time ago. However, this method of enhancing the efficacy by adding adjuvant often has some bad side effects, while this "behavioral adjuvant" similar to exercise can avoid unnecessary side effects well.
New research was published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity.
The vaccines counted in this study include three types: H1N1 influenza , seasonal influenza, and COVID-19. These three vaccines have similar effects on enhancing the efficacy of the vaccine through moderate and mild exercise for up to 90 minutes after injection.
However, what is more strange is that seems to have a set exercise time for enhancing the effect, which will only be effective after more than 90 minutes, but only last for 45 minutes without any enhancing the effect.
The next step will be to conduct a statistical experiment on the impact of 60 minutes of light and moderate intensity exercise on the efficacy of the vaccine, hoping to find the exact exercise time that can enhance the efficacy.
Regarding the question of why long-term, mild to moderate-intensity exercise can improve the body's immune response after injection of the vaccine, Professor Kohut of the research team explained this, "Exercise will make immune cells such as lymphocytes and more active, and mouse experiments have shown that a protein produced during exercise (interferon alpha), which helps to produce virus-specific antibodies and T cells ."
Vaccine
Finally, what Dr. Tong wants to say is that although the development of medicine is endless, even if it was considered correct in the past, it may be corrected at a certain moment, as for the current vaccine, especially the new coronavirus vaccine, , whether to keep quiet or perform appropriate exercise, Dr. Tong recommends that everyone strictly abide by the opinions of the injecting doctor and must not make their own decisions. Especially for those who are in poor health, it is better to be careful.
