Hello Doctor,
My Father-in-law , he is 59 yrs old. He is chain smoker , diabetes and asthma patient.
My query is whether he can take the covid vaccination or not.

Yes he can take the covid vaccine.there are no contraindications for smoking or asthmatic patients.
Though rate of infection in smokers is 50% more than normal people. Quitting smoking is always a good idea.
