Covishield has been reported to cause blood clots. However in India (ministry of health) has reported 0.6 cases per 1 million population. Hence it is a low risk. More data is yet to be available on it. Sickle cell pt both AS and SS can take the vaccine. Maintain adequate hydration and take regular medication(hydroxyurea, folic acid) To prevent the sickling crises.
