A social media post claiming that anaesthetic drugs can be life-threatening for vaccinated people has gone viral.

CLAIM: 

Anyone who has been vaccinated against coronavirus is prohibited from taking any type of anaesthetic, even local anaesthetics or dentist anaesthetic, because this poses a great danger to the life of the vaccinated person. It asks vaccinated people to wait for a month before undergoing these surgeries else it might even cause death.

Press Information Bureau conducted a fact check on the claim and said there is no merit to this claim. No such warning has been issued by any doctor or vaccine maker.

Doctors, as a practice, ask people to get vaccinated with 2 doses before undergoing an elective surgery so as to be safe.

PIBFactCheck: 

  1. This claim is FAKE
  2. There is NO scientific evidence till date to confirm the claim
  3. Don't fall for misinformation. GET vaccinated
