Right off the bat, let’s get one thing straight. There hasbeen no official guideline till the time of writing from any official authoritylike the Health ministry.
Thus, we are left to our own devices to figure out ifengaging in sexual activity once we have taken the Corona vaccine is safe forus and safe for our partners.
Further, what about couples who are attempting to conceive?
See, to claim with any degree of confidence in such matters –whether unprotected sex is safe or not – requires lengthy trials and we all are(inadvertently) in a live trial of the vaccine right now. So, making claims atthis point in time might be difficult.
Still, medical experts are claiming that everyone be on thesafe side and have protected sex after receiving the second dose of thevaccine.
“The SARS-CoV2 is a novel virus and the vaccine developed toneutralise it. However, it is too early to say whether there are any long-termside effects of the vaccine and whether they affect a man and a woman if theyhave intercourse. Abstinence from sex may not be always possible for aninoculated person,” Dr Deepak Verma, internal medicine, Columbia Asia Hospital,Ghaziabad, told an Indian newspaper website.
The doctor continues that at present it is too early tocomment what the effects will be of the virus and its antidote.
Thus, it appears that in the absence of any clarity,prevention is the best cure.
So for now everyone man out there, the doctor claims that “usinga condom will be the best and most cost-effective prevention”.
For women, he claims that a gynaecologist be consultedbefore getting the vaccine.
All in all, there is no need at all to stop or even slow down your sexual activities,just be safe, and use a condom.
Though, this does mean a delay in those wanting and attemptingto have a baby. Well, protection is what the doctor ordered and so you may haveto wait a little bit on this one.
