As per the prescription attached, she is a diabetic with stroke medications on going.
It's established fact that people with diabetes are at increased risk of severe covid disease . Also , The MHRA, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the World Health Organisation have all said that the Oxford/AstraZeneca Vaccine is safe and that the benefits continue to outweigh the risks. The benefits of receiving the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine far outweigh any risks, even for people under the age of 30 or with underlying health conditions, which includes stroke survivors.
Next Steps
get vaccinated ASAP.
