Fact Check! Anaesthetics can be life-threatening for COVID-19 vaccinated people?

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.

  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
