The WHO answer that NO pain reliever should be taken before receiving vaccine against COVID-19. On their website they explain the reasons why the intake would have to be after the application of the corresponding dose.
“Taking pain relievers such as acetaminophen to prevent side effects is not recommended before receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, as it is not known how they can affect how the vaccine works.”
Only in case of discomfort related to side effects, the WHO recommends taking paracetamol. “However, if after being vaccinated you have side effects such as pain, fever, headache or muscle pain, you can take paracetamol or another pain reliever.”
