The most advanced “weapon” against the Covid-19 pandemic is the vaccine.
Vaccination against Covid-19 for the public.
Everyone is advised to receive both doses of the vaccine to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. However, for those who enjoy drinking alcohol, the vaccine can be seen as an “enemy.” This is especially important for the elderly to keep in mind.
Shortly after receiving a question from a reader about an alcoholic uncle and inquiring how alcohol affects the human body after receiving the Covid vaccine, Master Vu Ngoc Ha, a resident physician at Hanoi Medical University, provided the following explanation:
“As of now, there has been no recommendation suggesting that we should consume substances that may reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine after receiving the Covid vaccine. However, experts also advise against the use of alcohol before and after vaccination. This is because alcohol suppresses the immune system, weakens the body’s ability to fight infections, increases the risk of complications, and may complicate the determination of what are vaccine complications and what are side effects from alcohol. It is best to avoid alcohol for 48 hours after receiving the Covid vaccine, and ideally for one week.”
