Am I Safe With All These Issues I Have A Concern About The Covid Vaccination?

Posted on 5 days ago

Question: Hello, I have a concern about the COvid Vaccination. I am scheduled to receive the Moderna vaccine and having some last-minute issues. I tried to talk to my doctor but the fastest I can is the end of Aug. So I'm 39, 6'0, 192lbs, BMI 26.3. I have Beta Thellasimia Minor, and I have an enlarged Spleen (789.2)(R16.1). I also have elevated LFTs (R79.89) and abnormal CBC(790.6)(R79.89). Also, my HGB is 12.1 and my RBC count is High18.4%. So question is, can I get the Vaccine? Am I safe with all these issues? Starting to get more anxious as the date approaches.

No issues with vaccination

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

All the issues listed are compatible with covid vaccination. No special problems are expected.

In fact, those with comorbidities are advised to take vaccine as soon as possible.

So I think you can take the vaccine with no issues.

Hope this helps.
