There is no evidence that drinking alcohol after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine affects its effect, the UK drug and health regulator MHRA said on Tuesday.
Can I drink alcohol after being vaccinated against COVID-19?
— There is currently no evidence that drinking alcohol reduces the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. We advise anyone who is concerned to speak to their doctor or health care professional, a spokeswoman for the PA told PA.
The MHRA has thus addressed claims made on social media that people should refrain from drinking alcohol for up to two weeks after receiving the vaccine.

In January, advisers to the charity Drinkaware, which is funded by the alcohol industry, said there was evidence that drinking alcohol, especially heavy drinking regularly, could interfere with the body’s ability to build up immunity in response to certain vaccines.
But neither the patient information leaflets nor the information provided by vaccine manufacturers say anything about such a link.
