Covid vaccine while on anti allergens

I currently have throat irritation due to which I have been prescribed PHLOGAM TAB and ALASPAN AM tablets for two weeks. Should I still go for vaccination now or wait till I finish the prescribed course? I have read that some medicines can reduce the immune response if taken priorly? Thanks in advance! :)

Ideally vaccination should be done when a person is fully fit and fine. As you said you have throat irritation and also you have been prescribed medication for that. I would suggest you delay your vaccination till the time you finish your medicines and regain your health.

Kindly refrain from getting vaccinated unless you are in your full health and you recover from throat irritation. Do wait for atleast 6-8 weeks after you finish the prescribed course of medication Stay hydrated, monitor your SpO2 regularly and get well soon.
