The pandemic has affected all our lives severely but with the coming of the vaccine, we can still hope for normality in the near future. However, it is still important that we stay cautious in every way possible to ensure the safety of our loved ones and ourselves. Receiving the vaccination is an important moment for all of us. Moreover, considering the current situation, going to get one can be worrisome. Especially, since most of us have been isolating at home. Moreover, it is equally important to maintain good health and immunity after receiving the vaccine as it will help lower the chance of side effects.

What Should You Do After Getting COVID-19 Vaccination?

Following tips should be followed after getting vaccinated for COVID-19 - 

• Drink Plenty of Water

  It is recommended to be conscious about the amount of water you drink before and after taking the vaccine. Staying hydrated will reduce your chances of feeling sick after taking the shot and if you have any side effects then it will lower their intensity. Hence, ensure that you drink water and include soup, fruit juices and high water fruits in your daily intake during this time.

• Make Immunity Boosters Part of Your Diet

  These include ingredients such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, lemon and wheatgrass. When added to a well-balanced diet it will be extremely beneficial for your body post-vaccination as it will ensure that your body is receiving all the nutrients it requires to stay in good health.

• Eat Fruits Especially Ones Rich in Vitamin 

  Intake of hydrating fruits can reduce your chances of experiencing the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. It is best to consume those fruits which are fresh. In most cases, these are seasonal fruits such as chikoo, jamun, pineapple, mango, banana, muskmelon and watermelons. Fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamin C are especially important. Oranges, limes, strawberries, bell peppers, leafy green veggies, methi and spinach are important, they will help relieve pain and boost your immune system.

• Sleep for 7- 8 hrs a Day

  The COVID-19 Vaccine protects you from the disease by developing your immune response. Thus doctors recommend you get enough sleep after getting the vaccine as lack of sleep can suppress immunity. Moreover, lack of sleep can aggravate stress in the body which also affects one’s immunity negatively.

• Light Exercise or Movement

  Doctor’s will recommend this to every patient as exercise and movement in general boosts blood circulation in the body. However, make sure to stick to mild to moderate levels of movement as it is best not to be overly tired or stressed during this time as well.

• Avoid Alcohol

  Consumption of alcohol results in dehydration and weakens immunity. Moreover, it can aggravate any fatigue pain or fever that you are experiencing. Hence. It is recommended to stay away from alcohol for a few days after you receive the vaccine as a precaution.
