Without vaccination, the critically ill or otherwise vulnerable must follow COVID-19 appropriate norms
Universal vaccination does not necessarily mean “all” as there are some critically ill people, including cancer patients, or organ transplant recipients, who are advised to stay away from COVID-19 vaccination. They are advised to consult with doctors so that they may be administered vaccines at the earliest, and to ensure they adhere to all COVID-19 protection norms to prevent infections to themselves and others.
Moreover, “Persons with severe allergic reaction to any component of the vaccine should avoid it,” said Dr. Archana Dhawan Bajaj, director, Nurture IVF clinic. She added that the number of patients with severe allergic and critical health conditions may not be very large, but they should act on medical advice and adopt preventive measures strictly.
