Hemophilia patients encouraged to take COVID-19 vaccine

Patients with hemophilia are encouraged to get the COVID-19 vaccine and there is no specific contraindication to vaccination related to complications of the disease or their therapies, according to Dr. Ahmed Abdulaziz Bahey, Critical Care Clinical Pharmacist in Trauma at the Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC). 

“We recommend patients with hemophilia to take the COVID-19 vaccine as it does not contraindicate with  their  compensation therapies,” he told The Peninsula.  “However every patient should talk to their physician and get advice before taking the COVID-19 vaccine,” he added.
