Any vaccine amongst the available ones can be taken with minimal risk. Prior history of allergy or sensitivity is only a relative contraindication to vaccination and the benefits outweigh the risk of the vaccine, according to the latest ICMR guidelines.
Please carry all documents and reports pertaining to your medical conditions or allergy or reaction to the vaccination centre and inform the vaccination medical officer about your condition. After taking the vaccine, it is strongly recommended to stay under observation at the centre for a period of 30 minutes. Inform about any abnormal symptoms to the medical officer urgently.
It is also recommended that the vaccination centre have means of resuscitation available for emergency use. Please ensure that such means are available.

Yes, you can get the vaccine.
With long-standing asthma, you are more prone to COVID infection. So it is advised to get the vaccine as soon as possible.
Both COVAXIN and COVISHEILD are safe and efficient.
