I'm curious about how long I should avoid smoking after getting the Covishield vaccine. Also, is there anything I should know about drinking alcohol after vaccination? One more thing, what if I happened to smoke right after getting the shot?

Is it okay to masturbate four days after getting the COVID vaccine? I'm really worried if there could be any negative effects on the vaccine's effectiveness or if it might cause any harm. Is there anything specific I should be cautious about during this period?
