I brought some papaya i didn't know that unripe papayas contained papain latex , i read that if we ate them it could ruin a certain part of my body, i'm more worried about this latex interfering with my covid shot tommarrow, should i reschedule.?

Reschedule eating the papaya or taking the covid vaccine; it means you plan to eat the papaya anyway and looking for an excuse to avoid taking your COVID vaccine. It is possible to do both so enjoy your unripe papaya, I actually enjoy the not fully ripe ones too, but do go and take the sheduled vaccine, the latex should not affect it.
