Sauna
The head of the infection protection department at the Federal Institute of Public Health in Germany added that this purpose should not visit the sauna the days following vaccination, given that the high temperature can constitute an additional burden on the blood circulation.
Sport
For sport, it is okay to practice light physical activities such as walking and a bike ride, but hard sporting activities such as weightlifting and running long distances should be avoided, and of course sports competitions.
Blood donation
Anyone who feels healthy can donate blood the next day to receive influenza vaccine, as influenza vaccination is made by a dead vaccine.
As for vaccinations that contain live vaccines – such as measles, mumps and measles – it is necessary to wait 4 weeks before donating blood again.
