Some people turn to painkillers because of the side effects of the corona vaccination.
But does the drug influence the effect of the vaccination?
Influenza-like symptoms can occur as a vaccination reaction *.
To counteract this, one or the other resort to painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol.
Basically nothing reprehensible.
After all, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) also recommended in the information sheet on vaccination that painkillers should be used for headaches and pain in the limbs.
The question that researchers at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver are now asking is whether this really makes sense or whether it might weaken vaccination protection.
Painkillers: This is the effect you have on the vaccination
The first findings of the researchers from Vancouver have already been published.
The letter states, among other things, that some studies have shown an effect on vaccination protection.
In plain language this means: If the pain reliever was taken before or immediately after the vaccination, it can reduce the vaccination protection.
The reason for this is that the natural vaccination reaction is prevented.
And the health
portal aponet.de
confirms: "
A suppressed immune reaction could theoretically reduce the formation of antibodies and thus the effect of the vaccination
." In fact, this does not only apply to the corona vaccination, but to all vaccinations.

Effect of pain killers on current corona vaccines
After all, a study on the Astrazeneca vaccine mentions the use of paracetamol in connection with the vaccine.
However, an impairment of the vaccination effect by the pain reliever is excluded here.
However, there are no specific publications on this
, as the researchers from Canada make clear in their report.
It is still unclear whether this knowledge can also be derived for vaccines of the mRNA type, such as
Biontech
and
Moderna
.
This is also because Astrazeneca is a vector vaccine and not an mRNA type vaccine.
So it remains to be seen
what new findings the researchers will come to over time.
Basically, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends
waiting at least a few days
before
taking painkillers
and not
taking them
before or immediately after the vaccination.
