Astrazeneca Vaccination

I have a question for the doctor. I was hospitalized three years ago due to pneumonia and Alhamdulillah I have recovered. Yet I am still taking blood thinners and I will be taking the Covid Astrazeneca vaccine. Is it appropriate for me to take the Vaccine or not?

Based on the latest information, the COVID-19 vaccine is safe for those who are currently undergoing blood thinners medication. Without a doubt, all levels of society (including those at risk) are very much encouraged to get the COVID-19 vaccination in order for us to eliminate the chain of COVID-19 infection in the country and the world. Furthermore, at the very least (on a personal level) preventing the risk of developing complications if unfortunately were to be infected by the virus.

However, it is better that you get further confirmation from a doctor or specialist at a nearby clinic or hospital, as well as report to the medical officer at your Vaccination Center.

You can also contact the Crisis Preparedness and Response Center (CPRC) or JKJAV. In addition, continue the routine of regular hand hygiene, practice social/physical incarceration, wear face masks outdoors and adhere to other pandemic SOPs.
