What are dos and donts after first jab

2021-05-05 10:17:59
Hi, I took the first jab of the covishield vaccine today, what are the dos and donts I should be following, I am not going out and ensuring home isolation for few days along with that a healthy diet and proper hydration is what I'm following. The center has given paracetamol 500 MG and advised to take 2 tablets for next 2 days to avoid high fever in case it comes. Any other dos and donts i should be doing? Kindly help me understand. Thanks

Take pcm 500 only if you have fever /pain at the injection site. Other than that practice usual hand hygiene, wear mask, maintain social distancing. Take the next jab within 6-8 weeks of the first one. There maybe slight pain over the injection site/mild rise of temp but there's no reason to panic.
