Posted on Fri, 26 Mar 2021

Question: Is there a risk associated with having blood type zero RH negative and Moderna vaccine?
Any risk on developing idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura , also Hashimoto present.
Not enough data available due to low incidence of this blood type and vaccinated population, however is this a valid concern?

Hello
Welcome To Ask A Doctor Service
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
This is not valid concern. Moderna vaccine (and for that matter any vaccine) can lead to idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in any blood group, occasionally, so do not worry about blood group.
When it comes to complications of vaccine, it affects all blood group similarly.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura can develop in any blood group type and nothing specific with blood group o-.

I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards
