So many Iowans are getting vaccinated! I feel blessed, I ll be going this week to get shot number one. I was curious, before I get my fist dose (or second for that matter), can I have a beer? How about some Advil if I have a headache that day or arm soreness? While the CDC is very light on official guidelines, I do have some tips from experts. Let s dig in.
-I want to take a painkiller before I get the vaccine so my arm hurts less later.
According the the experts at WebMD, this us actually not a great idea. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen can actually interfere with your immune systems response to the vaccine. Since the jab is designed to actually protect you from COVID via your immune system, the last thing you want to do is weaken it. It s also possible a painkiller could create an allergic reaction in your body when you get vaccinated. Unless your doctor says otherwise, it s advised you wait at leas two-hours from the time of the shot
There s so many classic TV and radio jingles out there, right? Bah duh bah bah bah, I m lovin it from McDonald s always comes to mind. But that s a national jingle, written by highly paid ad execs and voiced originally by music superstar Justin Timberlake. What about jingles and classic slogans closer to home?

9 Iowa jingles and slogans that are real earworms! Enjoy!
Who hasn t heard the classic Boubin Tire & Automotive jingle? It s at the end of most of their ads. Fixed right, fixed fast! Classic!
Sing it with me, DOORS GO UP, DOORS GO DOWN!! Christie s song is the best of the best. And as a bonus, the full ad is voiced.
