Sport after a rabies vaccination
Vaccination against rabies is becoming increasingly important as the disease spreads and more and more people come into contact with infected animals. After a rabies vaccination it behaves somewhat differently than with tetanus or polio. If you have had a rabies vaccination, you should refrain from sports for the next five to seven days. At the injection site, slight pain may occur and be accompanied by redness and/or slight swelling. Most of the side effects are similar to a cold, which can be aggravated by sport or can develop into a full-blown disease.
Sports after a TBE vaccination
TBE vaccination also involves injecting pathogens into the body to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies. As with most other vaccinations, the recommendation here is to refrain from sport for the next few days or to allow the body sufficient rest to cope with the pathogens. Especially athletes who are irregularly active, or who are still at the beginning of their athletic career, should take the break in order not to overload their body. Since every body reacts differently to a vaccination, every athlete should listen to himself and then decide which sport to do and at what intensity. However, the doctor’s advice is fundamental for the decision.
Sports after a hepatitis vaccination
Even after a hepatitis vaccination you do not have to do without sport. The vaccination protection is reliable. What can also happen with this vaccination is that the vaccination reactions are intensified by sporting activities. Depending on the type of sport, there may be increased pain at the injection site due to muscle tension. In addition, a strong vaccination reaction can lead to fever and flu-like symptoms, which should subside within a few days.
Pain after sport after vaccination
The pain after a vaccination is one of the reactions to the vaccination. This is caused by an irritation due to puncture of the muscle. The irritation of the muscle causes pain at the injection site, which feels like a sore muscle.If the muscle in question (usually the deltoid or gluteus maximus muscle) is strained after vaccination, a stronger pain reaction may occur.
This pain may be unpleasant, but is not a cause for concern. By cooling the affected area, pain can be relieved. If the pain persists for several days, redness, swelling and overheating of the injection site, a doctor should be consulted. These are symptoms of an inflammatory reaction.
