It has been observed that people are misusing antipyretics and analgesics with the fear of adverse events following immunisation. The possibility of antipyretics and analgesics blunting the antibody response of the human body can be a potential cause for lower immune response and thus a reason for lower efficacy of the vaccine. Prophylactic use of over-the-counter analgesics and antipyretics is to be discouraged until the data for or against its use is available.en-USantipyreticsCOVID-19 vaccinedrug misusevaccine immunogenicity.Article
