You just got your vaccine shot. You’re feeling great. Is it okay to celebrate with a joint? How long should you wait to fire one up?
Since COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, caution is advised. The research that’s out there suggests it’s a good idea to wait a few days after your shot to begin indulging – at least until the swelling in your arm is gone. Also, it will take a few days for any side effects from the vaccine (flu-like symptoms, for example) to subside.
