“Two weeks before immunization (first dose of the vaccine – ed.) It should definitely not be consumed (alcohol). The formation of immunity means 21 days between the two injections and another 21 days afterwards”, so a total of 56 days, Anna Popova, Russian health manager, told Komsomolskaya Pravda radio station.
He stressed that those who get vaccinated must take great care of their body during this time if they want to strengthen their immune system against the coronavirus.
“If we want to have health and self-defense (immune), then we must let the body form it. For this, neither before, nor after, nor during (vaccination should not consume alcohol – ed.). Simply for nothing and in no case ”Explained the Russian health manager about the consumption of vodka and other alcoholic beverages.
In case of side effects caused by forced abstinence from alcohol, he recommended to those who suffer from “discomfort” for this reason to consult a doctor.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova last week asked those wishing to get vaccinated with the Russian Sputnik-V vaccine not to consume alcohol for 42 days, a recommendation that Anna Popova has now extended to 56 days.
According to the Russian press, on social media many Russian citizens reacted negatively to this call to abstinence from alcohol, especially in view of the approaching winter holidays.
Russia’s health official said on Tuesday that Russia was ready for the free and voluntary mass vaccination ordered by President Vladimir Putin, in a country that has so far recorded 44,159 deaths among more than 2.5 million people who have tested positive for COVID- 19.
