Are children allowed to do sports after a vaccination?
After vaccination, children should be careful not to engage in high- to very high-intensity sports. Normal physical activity does not influence the vaccination process in children. Here too, the physical condition of the child should be taken into account and a decision should be made, depending on the situation and individual case, whether the child should be allowed to do his or her usual sports or not.
Does it have negative effects on the vaccination protection if I do sports after a vaccination?
Sport has no negative influence on the vaccination protection. The vaccination protection develops reliably after injection of the vaccine. In general, sport can be done after each vaccination.
In some cases, sport may cause a slightly increased vaccination reaction. This is usually only the pain at the injection site, but it can also lead to fever and flu-like symptoms. This topic might be of interest to you: Side effects of vaccination
When can I do sports again?
As a rule, sport may be resumed one to two days after vaccination. However, you should make sure that the intensity is low at the beginning and is only increased bit by bit. Walking or light jogging is a perfect way to get started after a vaccination. If this break is not taken into account, the risk of getting really sick increases due to the weakened immune system. Therefore you should allow your body a certain time to recover from the vaccination.
Can I go to the sauna after a vaccination?
Basically nothing is forbidden after a vaccination. The vaccination causes an immune reaction which can weaken the body a little bit in the short term. Therefore there are sources that advise against sports and sauna.
From a medical point of view there is no reason not to go to the sauna. It should only be noted that fever and flu-like symptoms can occur due to the vaccination reaction. If the body temperature is elevated, the sauna should generally be avoided, as the sauna places an additional burden on the circulation. To avoid a circulatory collapse, the sauna should therefore be avoided.
