Covid 19 vaccine: Who should not take it? Here’s the answer

Bharat Biotech, one of the two companies whose covid 19 vaccines are being used in the current vaccination drive nationwide, has issued a fact-sheet that talks about people who should restrain themselves from taking the vaccine. The company advised that breastfeeding and pregnant ladies and people with fever and allergies should avoid taking the Covaxin.

The company has said in a statement that you should not take the vaccine if the answer for any of the following is yes:

• Are you on regular medication for any illness? If yes, for how long and for which condition?

• Have any allergies

• Have fever

• Have a bleeding disorder or are on a blood thinner

• Are immunocompromised or are you on a medicine that affects your immune system

• Are pregnant

• Are breastfeeding

• Have received another COVID-1 9 vaccine

The company also said in the statement that the third level of trials are on. “In phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials, COVAXINTM has demonstrated the ability to produce antibodies against COVID-1 9. However, the clinical efficacy of COVAXIN is yet to be established and it is still being studied in phase 3 clinical trial. Hence, it is important to appreciate that receiving the vaccine does not mean that other precautions related to Covid-1 9 need not be followed.”
