The takeaway message is to get your dose of the vaccine as and when you can and prepare yourself for possible side-effects to avoid symptoms from getting the worst of you. While some vaccines are said to deliver more side-effects ( or for someone with a higher sensitivity), there remain a few precautionary steps every vaccinated beneficiary must take to feel okay, and let the vaccine do its job well:
-Hydrate yourself and have a proper meal before getting your vaccine. Do not get the vaccine empty stomach.
-Try and have lesser of processed food, which could be bad for your immune and gut health.
-Post getting the jab, have plenty of replenishing fluids and energizing foods.
-Get a good night’s sleep before you go, and manage stress levels
-Try and space out your schedule so that you do not feel too stressed or tired.
-If you feel sick or suspect COVID-19 like symptoms, consider rescheduling
-Do not take painkillers unneccessarily, and make use of home remedies to manage the milder side-effects
-Most importantly, relax, and prep yourself well before you get the vaccine to avoid unpleasant reactions, especially if you suffer from the fear of needles.
While most vaccines work to prompt an immune response, experts do detail that individual factors, such as how well-rested or stressed you are may alter the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine.
