Dear user, Covid vaccine is generally considered safe. I would suggest to go for Covishield ( personal preference - no scientific data between covishield versus covaxin). But be in mind the timing in vaccine, if he had recent any infection or he is on immunomodulators drugs for bowel disease ( like steroids) Regards
