Covid Vaccine with High BP
My father has hypertension. He is under medication since last 7 yrs. Recently his BP keeps fluctuating around 160/90 and 175/95. Its been two days since he changed medicine to Telmisartan + Amlodipine + Hydrochlorothiazide under guidance of physician. BP is still high. Is it safe to take Covid Vaccine with high BP or better to wait to get BP withing normal range first.

It’s fine to go ahead and take vaccination
How ever it’s important that one should monitor his BP. Clinically, some people may like to wait but it’s really not necessary to Postpone
