Alcohol post covid vaccination. Confirm!

There is no guideline which says to avoid alcohol after covid 19 vaccination, but it will be better to avoid it for a week or two. Also alcohol might exacerbate the symptoms post vaccination.

The most common side effects following COVID-19 vaccines are fatigue, a fever, headaches, body aches, chills, nausea, diarrhea, and pain at the site of injection, according to the World Health Organization. These may last from a few days to a week and are mostly self limiting. Take medication as prescribed by your doctor and rest. You can keep a clean wet cloth on the affected area to reduce pain. Consult your doctor if redness, tenderness, or swelling of the hand worsens. Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Avoid doing strenuous activities for at least 3-4 days after getting the vaccine. It is safer to avoid alcohol and smoking for a few days. The vaccine does not fully prevent infection by the COVID-19 virus. However it drastically reduces the chances of severe life threatening consequences and death due to COVID-19.

Since vaccination was taken seven days back ..you can take alcohol now but within limits. But remember to avoid alcohol during the second dose of alcohol
