Can you sunbathe after the vaccine? What the doctors say

Can you or can’t you sunbathe after the coronavirus vaccine? To clarify, the anti-fake news site of the National Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo) intervenes ‘Doctor, is it true that …?’, After a well-known dermatological institute had warned, advising to wait a few weeks or alternatively use a protective cream and take supplements. “Products that – underlines Fnomeco – the same institute produces and advertises”. “In reality – clarifies the anti-buffalo site – the opinion of the experts refers to patients who have developed dermatological manifestations of the disease (from urticaria to chilblains to various forms of rash), or have had an important skin reaction to vaccination (for for example the redness and swelling of the arm, which occurs in some cases especially with messenger RNA vaccines). Their advice, quite reasonable – say the doctors – is to avoid exposing an already irritating skin to the sun. Even those who develop a little fever after the vaccine should stay at home and do not expose themselves to the sun until it passes. Those who, during the illness or after vaccination, did not have skin manifestations have no reason particular to avoid exposure to the sun “. “As regards vaccines against Covid-19 – underlines the National Federation of Medical Orders – no recommendations have been made in this regard, neither from the studies carried out for the authorization, nor in the post-marketing surveillance which now covers more than 2 billion of people”.
