Since his age is 70 years and known cardiac patient he has higher risk of covid . The risk related to vaccination is too small though he is on blood thinners. I recommend vaccination for him .
Next Steps
Go ahead with vaccination
Health Tips
Watch for local swelling for few days at the site of vaccination. Even if it appears keep ICE packs over it it will subside
