Greetings! Thank you for your questions.

For your information, experts concluded that COVID-19 vaccination with approved vaccines should be recommended to people with Parkinson Disease, unless there is a specific contraindication. Vaccines can help to mitigate the risk of developing serious illness of COVID-19 infection, which can lead to , life-threatening disease. Besides, the approved mRNA-based vaccines and viral vector vaccines under development are not known or expected to interact with the neurodegenerative process in Parkinson Disease. Plus, the types or incidence of side effects of these vaccines in people with Parkinson seem no different than in other people.

Nevertheless, 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.
