feeling unwell but still get vaccinated?

It is generally not recommended to receive a vaccine while feeling unwell, especially if you have a fever. This is because your body may not be able to mount a strong immune response to the vaccine, and there is a risk of exacerbating your illness.

Can I still get vaccinated if I have a cold?

If you only have mild symptoms of a cold, such as a runny nose or sneezing, it is usually safe to receive a vaccine. However, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it is the right decision for you.

Will the vaccine make my cold worse?

The vaccine itself should not make your cold symptoms worse. In some cases, you may experience mild side effects such as a low-grade fever or body aches, but these should resolve within a few days. It's important to differentiate between these expected side effects and a worsening of your cold symptoms.

What should I do if I have a fever before getting vaccinated?

If you have a fever, it is best to postpone getting vaccinated until your fever has resolved. This is because a fever can indicate that your body is already fighting off an infection, and receiving a vaccine could further stress your immune system.

Can I take medication for my cold before getting vaccinated?

It is generally safe to take over-the-counter medications for your cold before getting vaccinated, as long as you do not have a fever. However, if you are unsure, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
