The doctor says that taking Tylenol or Advil before the vaccination will make the shot less effective

Taking Tylenol or Advil before taking a coronavirus vaccine will block the production of antibodies and make the shot less effective, infectious disease specialists say

• Coronavirus vaccines from both Pfizer-BioNTech are known to have side effects such as injection site pain, headache, and fever
• These are signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and the immune system is making antibodies
• Infectious disease specialists warn people not to take ibuprofen like Advil or paracetamol like Tylenol as prophylaxis
• Pain relievers can suppress parts of the immune system and inhibit antibody production, making the vaccine less effective
