Jakarta –
what exhausted COVID-19 booster vaccine can drink ice and coconut water? This question is just one of the many concerns that are often asked after taking the COVID-19 booster vaccine. Here’s the explanation.
After the vaccine you can drink ice. This will not have a harmful impact on the effectiveness of vaccines, including the COVID-19 booster vaccine.
The World Health Organization WHO, through its official website, has explained that no certain food or drink is prohibited after vaccination, in this case especially COVID-19 vaccine.
WHO confirms this, because vaccine performance will not be affected by food or drink intake. So, as long as the body feels fit, feel free to eat cold food or drinks.
Likewise with coconut water. There is information circulating that drinking coconut water after vaccination can help reduce Post Immunization Adverse Events (AEFI). Quoted from the site Covid19.go.id, Friday (14/1/2022) the statement that coconut water can neutralize the vaccine is a false claim.
According to the spokesperson for the COVID-19 vaccination program and the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) Lucia Rizka Andalusia, COVID-19 vaccine does not contain poison. This is because the virus in the vaccine has been turned off and can stimulate the formation of antibodies.
Moreover, Lucia revealed that between the vaccine and coconut water will not relate, this is because the vaccine is injected so that it enters the arm muscles while coconut water will enter the stomach.
In line with this statement, DKI Jakarta KONI Nutritionist, Irtya Qiyamulail, gave a similar explanation that the COVID-19 vaccine does not contain poison so it does not need to be neutralized.
“Contents of the vaccine COVID-19 is a virus that has been killed, aluminum hydroxide to increase the vaccine’s ability, phosphate as a stabilizer, and sodium chloride as an isotonic. From this it can be seen that there is no toxic content that needs to be neutralized or worried, as stated in the circulating claims,” he explained.
As for the function of coconut water itself, according to the Medical Manager of the Consumer Health Division of PT Kalbe Farma, dr. Helmin Agustina Silalahi, there is no research evidence that proves it coconut water can neutralize poison.
