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?

There is no evidence to suggest that masturbation can harm the vaccination efficacy or cause any problems. Just ensure proper hygiene practices to prevent any infections.
