Thank you for asking on HCM!
Short answer:
No, intake of alcohol doesn't reduce the effectiveness of vaccinations, so you don't need to repeat your vaccine shots.
Detailed answer:
Dear user,
I really understand your concern.
There are done some studies for relationship between alcohol intake and the effectiveness of vaccinations but none of them has shown that intake of alcohol reduces the effectiveness of vaccinations, so there is no truth in this statement. You don't need to repeat your vaccine shots.
However, drinking alcohol around 1 to 2 hours before/after vaccine shot isn't advisable, as per avoiding any interaction. If you don't see any "trouble" after injections, there's nothing to worry about.
All the best!
