Therapist Alexei Vodovozov told RIA Novosti on Wednesday, March 9, how to prepare in advance for revaccination against coronavirus. He also commented on the recommendation widespread on the Web and spoke about the dangers of this method.
As the expert noted, there are various ways to prepare for revaccination on the Internet. Among them there is a rumor that one should take blood-thinning drugs a week before vaccination.
“In no case should you prescribe blood-thinning drugs without indications. After all, this is heavy artillery, these are medical preparations that a doctor prescribes, based on the state of the coagulation and anticoagulation system, and then monitors changes in these indicators. This is a good tool in the hands of a doctor, but it has a lot of severe side effects, ”said Vodovozov.
In his opinion, no special training is needed for successful revaccination. A citizen who intends to re-vaccinate against COVID-19 should just get enough sleep, not drink a lot of alcoholic beverages the day before, and not overwork physically or mentally.
“In this case, most likely, the number of factors that can somehow negatively affect will be minimal,” the doctor added.
At the same time, in the presence of allergic reactions, it is not forbidden to take drugs, since antihistamines and antipyretics do not affect the effect of the vaccine, according to Vodovozov.
Earlier on the same day, Deputy Director for Clinical Work of the Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. G.N. Gabrichevsky Rospotrebnadzor, Doctor of Medical Sciences Tatyana Ruzhentsova said that with the spread of Omicron, gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite) began to appear much more often than when infected with the Delta strain. According to Ruzhentsova, in the youngest patients, the disease is often accompanied by vomiting, which is especially pronounced on the first day of illness.
