Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I recently read about the latest coronavirus vaccine, and I am concerned about potential side effects. I am a 50-year-old man and had a history of COPD; however, it is sort of cured now. Considering my health history and any pre-existing conditions, is it safe for me to receive the vaccine? I want to ensure that I am making an informed decision about my health. Could you provide insights into the specific risks or considerations I should know? Additionally, are there any alternative options that might suit me? The doctor says my lungs are rather sensitive. Does that make me more prone to coronavirus?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Yes, actually, I suggest you take a coronavirus vaccine if your symptoms are under control. If you currently have any symptoms of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder), such as difficulties in breathing, cough, fever, and all, then you should avoid taking the vaccine in such cases. Firstly you should treat your symptoms, then you can get the vaccination.
Vaccination will not cause you any harm.
Can you please tell me which vaccine you want to take for COVID-19?
If anything else, please let me know
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
