The Coronavirus Covid-19 vaccine is something that has a good part of humanity anxious. There are several that have already been approved by the health authorities. But the pace of production just doesn't seem to be enough.
However, the reality is also that they are experimental vaccines so it is necessary to take into account latent side effects and some conditions that must be observed.
For example, the frank possibility of stopping consuming alcohol while completing the vaccine treatment.
Wine or beer can affect the performance of the vaccine
In an interview for the British newspaper Daily Mail, the expert professor in immunology, Sheena Cruickshank, from the University of Manchester, highlighted that the consumption of alcohol could lead to the reduction of lymphocytes in the patients' system.
Such a situation could then reduce the effectiveness of the body's immune response. For what Cruickshank, has urged people to avoid alcohol after receiving the vaccine against the Coronavirus Covid-19:
We need to have a fully functioning immune system to have a good response to the vaccine, so if we have been drinking the night before or shortly after receiving it, that will not help.
In adults, lymphocytes makeup about 20 to 40 percent of the total number of white blood cells and are concentrated in central lymphoid organs and tissues.

Examples are the spleen, tonsils, and lymph nodes. This is exactly where the initial immune response triggered by the Covid-19 Coronavirus vaccine would occur.
However, there are studies that show that the consumption of up to three glasses of prosecco white wine, about half a bottle, can lower lymphocyte levels by 50%.
So the obvious recommendation is to stop drinking wine or beer while on the vaccine treatment that involves more than one dose.
