The specialist noted that the restrictions are similar to those that apply to influenza vaccination. For example, a patient should not be vaccinated if the body temperature is seriously above +37 ° C.
“You definitely shouldn't drink strong alcohol before vaccination. However, weak too. The vaccine can react to alcohol in such a way that the person will not be well. I think that you don't need to drink 10-12 hours or even a day before vaccination, ”Zhemchugov said in an interview with Sputnik radio station.
The immunologist clarified that before vaccination, the patient should not hesitate to ask the doctor questions.
