Alcohol is not a hindrance to the vaccine
The developers of Sputnik V said that it is possible to drink to those vaccinated against COVID-19, but in moderation
The management of the SIC named after Gamalei gently corrected the head of Rospotrebnadzor, who prescribed a 6-week "dry law" to the happy owners of the anti-coronavirus vaccination of domestic production. Abstinence for them can be limited to three days.
During vaccination, you can drink alcoholic beverages, but without frills, so explained the relationship of the drug and the intoxicating director of the Gamalei Research Center, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Ginzburg to RBC.
But Russians who are waiting for a vaccination or have already been vaccinated still need to limit alcohol consumption so that the body forms an immune response, and this is a standard recommendation during vaccinations, he added. Moreover, all without exception.
"Of course, we are not talking about any complete ban on alcohol during vaccination. It's just about a reasonable restriction of consumption until the body has formed its immune response to coronavirus infection," Ginzburg explained. "It's important to understand that excessive alcohol consumption can significantly reduce immunity, and therefore reduce the effectiveness of vaccination or even make it meaningless. Similarly, for 42 days, while immunity to coronavirus is being formed, it is not recommended to take medications that suppress the immune system. All these are standard recommendations for vaccination in order to achieve its maximum effectiveness.
"Nevertheless, we strongly recommend abstaining from alcohol for three days after each injection," the academician concluded.
Recall that on Tuesday, the head of Rospotrebnadzor told about the 6-week "dry law" for those vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine. Anna Popova recommended compatriots not to drink alcohol 2 weeks before and 42 days after the first of the vaccinations.
