Get your vaccine. The Advil is not an immunosuppressant or even a modulator, it is an anti-inflammatory. There should be no reason to worry about the vaccine immune response.

Please don't let taking one dose of Advil prevent you from getting your COVID 19 vaccine. That vaccine could save your life.
