High Platelet Counts - Any issue to take AZ vaccine?

Does one with high platelet counts pose high risk in taking AZ vaccine please? Since AZ has issue with blood clots? Appreciate advice as the vaccination date is near.

Hi, thank you for your question.

Due you have platelet disorder, it is better for you to get further confirmation from a doctor or specialist , as well as report to the medical officer at your Vaccination Center, as you may need pre vaccination assessment to prevent any serious complications .
