Valacvir tab & covid vaccine
Hello, three weeks ago I completed a course of valacvir 1000mg tablets for herpes zoster and on June 14 I have an appointment for covid vaccine. Please advise if it safe to take the vaccine
Any vaccine amongst the available ones can be taken with minimal risk. The benefits outweigh the risk of the vaccine, according to the latest ICMR (India) and CDC (United States) guidelines.
Please carry all documents and reports pertaining to your medical condition or allergy or reaction to the vaccination centre and inform the vaccination medical officer about your condition. After taking the vaccine, it is strongly recommended to stay under observation at the centre for a period of 30 minutes. Inform about any abnormal symptoms to the medical officer urgently.
It is also recommended that the vaccination centre have means of resuscitation available for emergency use. Please ensure that such means are available.
