"Doctor, I am an alcoholic. I have to drink two glasses every day to relieve my addiction. But I heard that I can't drink alcohol after getting the COVID-19 vaccine, so can I still get it?" Many friends have been asking such questions recently. With the recent recurrence of the COVID-19 epidemic in some parts of my country, the enthusiasm of the people to get the COVID-19 vaccine has also increased. However, many experts suggest that it is best not to drink alcohol within one week after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. This is indeed a torture for alcoholics.
They will definitely not be able to quit drinking for a while, and to make them ban alcohol immediately, addictive attacks will make them very uncomfortable, so these people have been very confused recently whether they should get vaccinated against the new crown vaccine? Will drinking alcohol after injecting the new crown vaccine lead to ineffectiveness? Let's see what the experts say.
Why is it recommended not to drink alcohol within one week after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?
In fact, if we carefully check the instructions for the new crown vaccine, we will find that the instructions do not clearly state that drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited after injecting the new crown vaccine. But why do experts recommend not drinking alcohol within a week after getting the COVID-19 vaccine? This is mainly because drinking can easily cause dizziness, chest tightness, , skin flushing, nausea and vomiting, and other reactions. These symptoms are very similar to the adverse reactions caused by the new crown vaccine. In order to distinguish whether it is caused by the new crown vaccine or caused by drinking, experts recommend not drinking alcohol within one week after being vaccinated with the new crown vaccine.
Will drinking alcohol after injecting the new crown vaccine cause the vaccine to be ineffective?
There are also many people on the Internet who say that they should not drink alcohol after injecting the new crown vaccine. Another reason is that it will cause the vaccine to be ineffective. In fact, drinking will not cause the vaccine to be ineffective, but in terms of the harm of alcohol, it will have a certain impact on the human immune system. Especially for those who have been addicted to alcohol for a long time, the body's immunity will decrease, which may also lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the vaccine, but it will not be 100% ineffective.
What should you pay attention to after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?
We need to be clear that drinking even for a long time is not a taboo for getting the COVID-19 vaccine, so even alcoholics can still get the COVID-19 vaccine normally. However, after injecting the new crown vaccine, the following points should be paid attention to:
1. Observe for at least 30 minutes before leaving
If serious adverse reactions occur after injecting the new crown vaccine, they usually occur within 30 minutes after injection, so it is recommended to stay on site for at least 30 minutes after injection before leaving.
2. It is best not to drink
0 As mentioned above, drinking may cause symptoms similar to vaccines, so it is best not to drink for the time being. If you really can't help it, you can also drink a little alcohol that is not as high as beer, but remember not to drink too much.
3. Do not exercise vigorously immediately
Severe exercise may aggravate pain at the injection site or cause bleeding, and may also cause fatigue and dizziness, which may also be similar to the adverse reactions of the vaccine.
4. Do not eat spicy, high-protein foods
. These foods are also easy to cause discomfort and even skin allergies, which is difficult to distinguish from the new crown vaccine.
In short, even alcoholics can get the COVID-19 vaccine, but it is still recommended to stop drinking after injection to avoid causing discomfort and let the vaccine take the blame. Besides, since we are discussing health, we must add: Alcohol is a first-grade carcinogen, alcoholism is harmful to all kinds of harm, so stop drinking!
