When the entire world is still fighting against the deadly virus Covid-19, booster shots is recommended for people who are vaccinated and whose immune response weakened over time. Research suggests that getting a booster dose can decrease your risk of infection and severe illness with COVID-19.
But a new study has found that booster shots has more side-effects than preliminary doses. In a recent study, published by JAMA network open, a medical journal issued by the American Medical Association, says a booster dose has side effects that can be strong and it weakens the body.
Booster Dose is Important
Covid vaccines have proven to be highly effective in protecting people from deaths and serious illness. After few months, the impact of the vaccine starts reducing, so the health experts, doctors in the world have advised for the booster shots.
According to the study in Jama Network Open, the side effects of the dose which is considered to be stronger, are a positive indication that the vaccine is working on our immune systems.
Reason behind Side Effects of Booster Dose
When the booster shot enters the body, the defence system reacts to it and start building antibodies. The side-effects for the booster shot can be stronger because of the pathogens present in it. It also means that the vaccine is also working. The post booster dose symptoms are similar to Covid-19. The reason behind is our body is building immunity against the deadly virus.
Avoid side-effects of the Booster Dose
To avoid the side-effects of the vaccine, always consider having a balanced diet, staying hydrated and getting enough sleep. Yoga or other forms of physical activity also helps. Doctors have advised people to refrain from smoking, drinking and eating junk food after a booster dose.
If there is any pain or any discomfort after vaccination, one should avoid taking over-the-counter medicines as they might lead to severe allergic reactions, and consult a doctor.
