A health official in Russia said people should abstain from sex for at least three days after getting a COVID vaccine.
Deputy health minister for the Saratov region, Dr. Denis Graifer, said people should avoid increased physical stress for three days after being vaccinated, including having sex, Daily Mail reported.
In a press conference, Graifer noted that he believes that sex is a very energy-consuming act. He warned people that increased physical activity like sex is not recommended after COVID vaccination.
Other than causing nausea or weakness, some experts said that any extra high-intensity activities after COVID vaccination might increase inflammation in the body because it could speed up blood flow and heart rate.
