There is no evidence that anything you eat or drink before or after
getting vaccinated, including alcohol, affects the safety or effectiveness
of COVID-19 vaccinations. Drinking alcohol, on the other hand, can exacerbate the common mild to moderate adverse effects of vaccination, such as a headache and weariness. As a result, it is best to refrain from drinking until any side effects from vaccination have subsided. Learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine's side effects.
