Lupus pt can take vaccine. Go ahead ✌
Black fungus is seen in:
diabetes patients( uncontrolled)
High dose steroids
Hospital environment (contamined)
Unsterile mask
The patient has none of the risk factors .
Risk of covid 19 depends on her following adequate covid protocol ,social distancing and hygiene.
If she does, her chances of catching the infection will be less.
Next Steps
please do not worry ✌
follow covid protocol and stay safe.
