Regarding the COVID-19 vaccination.

Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends that prophylactic oral analgesics (pain pills) or antipyretics (fever reducing pills) should NOT be routinely used BEFORE OR AT the time of vaccination.

Oral analgesics or antipyretics MAY BE considered for the management of adverse events (eg. pain or fever), if they occur AFTER vaccination.

The reason for the recommendation - you want a strong immune response to make anti-bodies to fight COVID-19.
