The Covid-19 pandemic, with its increasing number of victims, makes everyone feel worried. However, Indonesia has done a lot of free vaccines with various types of producers. There are many rumors about the do’s and don’ts of vaccines circulating in the community.
To help you prepare before taking the Covid-19 vaccine, UNICEF provides several recommendations for things you should and shouldn’t do after being vaccinated.
Which must be done
Exercise has been shown to increase the body’s immunity. Especially in a pandemic. Good immunity is needed to ward off viruses. Do light exercise so that your body stays healthy after getting vaccinated. Do not do sports that are too strenuous. Enough to do light things like jogging and walking.
- Eat a balanced diet and drink lots of water
Don’t get dehydrated after getting vaccinated. Water can ease the side effects of vaccine pain. In addition, a healthy diet can also combat the side effects of vaccines.
When you are vaccinated, the body relies on the immune response to develop its protection. Lack of sleep after the vaccine can lead to decreased immunity and trigger stress.
- Continue to breastfeed for vaccinated mothers
Antibodies produced through the Covid-19 vaccine can be transmitted to babies through mother’s milk.
That can’t be done
- Don’t think you are 100% immune to the Covid-19 virus
No vaccine has a 100% success rate. You can still get the vaccine but at a lower risk.
- Avoid alcohol and tobacco
It is recommended to avoid the consumption of tobacco and alcoholic beverages because it worsens the side effects of the vaccine such as muscle aches, fatigue, and headaches.
- Don’t delay consulting a doctor
If there are excessive side effects, never delay to consult your doctor. If the side effects also do not improve in a long time, do not hesitate to consult.
- Avoid strenuous physical activity
Your body needs time to recover. Avoid stressing him out with strenuous exercise.
- Don’t miss the vaccine for the next dose
There are several doses of the vaccine for adults. Never miss the vaccine for the next dose so that your body becomes more immune to the virus.
