I need to know which blood thinners you are taking. If they are antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel then you can take vaccination. But if you are on anticoagulation then you need to consult

You need to specify the medicine . If it's antiplatelets like Ecosprin, clopidogrel you can take vaccine.
If it's anticoagulation, check INR before vaccination. If INR is within the therapeutic range you can take vaccine.
