Covid vaccination info needed
My father is 55 and he is diabetic patient
We are planning to get him vaccinated. Do we need to do any tests before vaccination or else we are good to go for covid shot.

No tests are indicated.
Since your patient has no symptoms there is no need to do rtpcr test.
Diabetics patient should be more careful while leaving the house and follow covid protocol and hygiene strictly.

Yes , make sure his sugar level is in normal range , also make sure he is not on any blood thinners , also get a covid rtpcr test report & CRP done, if covid is negative & CRP in normal limit, vaccine can be taken. Dr. Rupal Rana Arya (Senior Consultant Physician) Mumbai
