Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used to relieve pain, decrease inflammation, and reduce high temperature. It is a common type of anti-inflammatory drug often used by people who are suffering from headaches, painful periods, sprains and strains, colds and flu and arthritis. However, these medications can hinder your body’s immune response system and will reduce the efficacy of the vaccination.
