I have taken covid vaccine's first dose on 10 april. After 3 days, I got stomach infection so need your suggestion if I can take prescribed antibiotics by the doctor or not.

Question

Hi, thank you for your query. Yes, you can definitely take antibiotics after covid vaccine. Antibiotics are not a contraindication to covid-19 vaccination per se. One of the reasons we advise to avoid antibiotics is because a lot of people take antibiotics without consulting a specialist for respiratory infection due to covid which not only won’t work since the infection is a virus but it can cause resistance to develop in bacterial strains.
