Doctors advise against travelling immediately after your Covid-19 vaccination
By The Washington Post
Washington - The coronavirus vaccines are welcome news to restless travellers.
But if you re planning to take a trip as soon as you get your shot or shots, depending on which vaccine you receive, not so fast: Vaccinated individuals should wait at least two weeks after their last shot, according to doctors.
And some countries and cruise lines are echoing the call for vaccinated travellers to delay their visits.
Medical experts say the two-week time frame allows the vaccine to do its job. Our bodies need that time to develop both antibody and cellular immune responses, which are critical for protection, said Paul Sax, clinical director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women s Hospital in Boston.
