Carnivore Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 The vaccine administered today and yesterday is supposedly the Chinese Sinovac product. The medical people administering the vaccinations have advised that having received the vaccine the recipients should avoid alcohol for a 20 day period. The following web-address deals with the subject: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health-news/coronavirus-vaccine-can-you-have-alcohol-after-getting-a-covid-19-vaccine-myth-busted/photostory/81392432.cms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 This is BS that you cannot have alcohol.. In France no one is being told to stop rnking alcohol and there is lke tortilla , we have it twice a day with every meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 While there is some state of the art medical care and some really good doctors in Mexico, I have also been told some utterly absurd things with no basis in science, by medical personnel here. I wouldn't take what someone administering vaccines said to be the truth. Do your own research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexijims1 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 What personal gain do MX doctors have to tell you to not have alcohol for 20 days after receiving the Sinovac vaccine? You are foolish not to listen to them. I doubt you know as much as they do about the vaccine , unless you are some Nobel vaccine researcher !!!! NOT !!!

bmh Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 They say alcohol lowers the efficacy of the vaccine.. Mexican doctors are very much against alcohol and French doctors are not , they actually serve a small bottle of red wine with dinner in the hospitals, they say it relaxes people.. Every culture has their does and dont and do not be surprise if they contradict each other. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Isn't a vaccinated person recommended to continue wearing masks and practice distancing for awhile after the vaccine since they could still pass it on to some one else? Maybe, they just say that to keep them out of cantinas and bars for awhile. Quién sabe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudgirl Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I imagine the no drinking advice is more about judging whether you are having a reaction that should be attended to by medical personnel than about it having an effect on the efficacy of the vaccine. If you're sober and start to feel dizzy, or queasy or ill, it would likely be due to the vaccine- if you drink all afternoon and evening, and feel like that, it might just be the booze.

mexijims1 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Did you ever think that each vaccine is made differently and alcohol could have an impact on some and not on others ? Go ahead drink your hearts out !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Do you ever think thatnot everyone guzzle down alcohol? In Ajijic today they told us no alcohol for 28 days because it lowers ther efficacy of the vaccine and no aspirin for 2 days.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPanda Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I guess some people just don't believe anything except the negative. They are not happy unless they have something to complain about. "Alcohol intake doesn't directly affect the production of antibodies, which are produced by the vaccine to protect against future infection strikes.

Floradude Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 It is probably ok but the thing for me is I worked hard, and spent a lot of time first getting the registration number and then the first dose of the vaccine. If there is any possibility that the immunity from the vaccine could be diminished why would I take the chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
