Don’t Take These Meds Before or After Your COVID Vaccine, CDC Warns

OTC meds could hinder the body’s production of antibodies

Although there are few, if any, studies regarding the COVID vaccine’s interaction with ibuprofen or acetaminophen, researchers have their own assumptions as to what could happen should the two have a face-off.

Your body needs these enzymes to make B-lymphocytes, which in turn, produce high volumes of antibodies against COVID, the common flu and other viruses that a vaccine provides protection against.
