According to Oksana Drapkina, chief freelance physician at the Ministry of Health, there may be flu-like symptoms in the first days after the coronavirus vaccination that are worth paying attention to.

The vaccinated person may feel weakness, drowsiness, aches, sometimes chills and fever rises.

In an interview with Channel One, the specialist recommended taking paracetomol if a person does not tolerate symptoms well or at temperatures above 38 degrees. In such cases, you do not need to seek help from medical institutions.

Medical assistance is needed if the reaction to the vaccine does not go away after a week, the body temperature rises above 38.5 and severe allergic reactions are observed.
