I'm really worried about my friend. He's got a really high fever and his blood test results showed his WBC count is high, around 13,100. Plus, his neutrophils are elevated too. On top of all that, he's experiencing back pain. What could be causing all these symptoms?

I can't remember if I've already taken a dose of EBAS 20, and now I'm worried I might've accidentally taken two instead of one. What should I do in this situation?

Can you tell me if it's safe to masturbate after getting vaccinated? I'm a bit worried if it might affect the vaccine's effectiveness since I read somewhere that there's no connection between these two processes. Is that true?

Masturbation does not interfere with the efficacy of the vaccination.
