SEX BAN for the vaccinated: Russian health official tells people getting Covid jab they cannot sleep with anyone for three days afterwards (after country also said vodka was a no-no). Russians have been told to avoid having sex for three days after Covid vaccine.

Dr Denis Graifer said people should avoid ‘increased physical stress’ for three days after being inoculated, including having sex. Russians have also been told to avoid vodka, smoking and visiting saunas after jabs. The country has one of the world’s lowest vaccination rates, with 13% fully jabbed.

I believe, and everyone knows this, too, that sex is a very energy-consuming activity,’ Dr Graifer told a press conference. ‘So we warn people who have been vaccinated that increased physical activity, including having sex, is not recommended after vaccination.’ Graifer, 38, is a married father of two and has been vaccinated.

Russia is using its home-grown Sputnik V vaccine for its roll-out, a two-dose adenovirus jab similar to AstraZeneca’s shot. While the vaccine has yet to gain approval from international health bodies such as the WHO and European Medicines Agency, data gathered from 47 countries where it is in use suggests it is highly effective at stopping cases of the virus.

However, take-up in Russia has been low, thanks in part to mistrust of the government and mismanagement of the programme. 

Graifer, a qualified doctor as well as a politician, was criticised on the Russian state media by a senior medical official who dismissed him as a ‘young colleague’ who had gone over the top with his sex ban.

‘You can do it, just do it with caution,’ said his boss Oleg Kostin referring to sex after vaccines. Russians should ‘have common sense and not overdo it,’ he urged. Source
