Covishield side effect
Hello. I have a question regarding the rare blood clotting associated with covishield. My platelet count usually stays at 180000 and I used to have light bruising on my legs last year (not anymore since 5 months after taking karipaya). I have no other allergy or disease. Can I take the covishield vaccine? Or should I wait for covaxin? I am 34 years old female.
