after getting a COVID-19 vaccine? Is it safe to drink alcohol ?

It is already April 2022, but the name Covid-19 is still on the headlines for most of our day. It has been 2 years and more since Covid-19 made its first appearance. It all started somewhere in December 2019, a man in Wuhan province, China had been found dead and the cause is still unclear at that time. After some investigations, it was later found out that the man’s death was caused by a new virus that is later known as Covid-19. It is also noted that the man had developed symptoms such as cough, fever and shortness of breath prior to his death. Today, it was reported that this virus had already infected millions of people worldwide while also becoming the cause of death for thousands of innocent lives. This situation is very terrifying to experience and many of us have been affected by it. Luckily, Covid 19 vaccine is here to save our lives. In March 2020, the vaccine developers had started their work on producing and distributing Covid-19 vaccines for global use. This is positive news for all of us, because it proves that it can help to save mankind from this pandemic. However, there are some questions that arise among us regarding the use of Covid-19 vaccines. Since this is a new thing, questions like these are always expected.

During the early stage of the vaccine distribution process. Some people have concerns regarding its side effects. But, it is revealed that these vaccines are actually quite safe to be used. Majority of us might get side effects after our vaccination shot, but it is actually quite normal. The side effects mentioned such as fever, pain at the injection site, fatigue and headache are usually pretty mild. So, the people do not actually need to worry about it because the side effects also will usually go off after a couple of days. Besides the concern regarding the side effects that these vaccines possess, some people also want to know whether taking this vaccine will interfere with their daily activity, such as drinking alcohol? In order to answer this question, the first thing that we need to know is that alcohol is always bad for our health. This is already scientifically proven because drinking alcohol, especially on a large scale, will give you health problems such as liver disease, heart disease or kidney problems in the future.

So, of course taking alcohol is always and it does not matter before or after taking any vaccination shot. However, there is still no scientific evidence that can prove that taking alcohol will make matters worse after you get your Covid-19 vaccination shot. But, the experts are giving advice to the people about this matter, saying that it is best not to consume alcohol after taking Covid-19 vaccination shots because we are still unclear about the side effects. It is best for us to remain patient for a while and wait for further updates. In the meantime, please avoid doing anything that can compromise our health in general. Hence, it is not recommended for us to take alcohol after the vaccination. Besides that, we also need to always follow the Covid-19 guidelines such as wearing a mask outside your house, sanitizing your hand regularly, always cleaning your environment, avoiding crowded places and also practicing social distancing. If we always stick with these guidelines and also protocols, there is a high chance that one day we will be able to live normally again. Let us hope Covid-19 goes away as soon as possible and humankind wins this battle soon.
