Is it advisable to takeCovid vaccination
Hello,
My husband was diagnosed with MS, 11 years back and was hospitalized for a couple of months.Later took medications for 8-9 months ,post which he fully recovered and till today doesn't have any issues other than Alopecia which if he takes 3 doses of steriod shots on the infected area, the problem goes away. He has not taken any steriod shots since more than a year now.
Please let me know if he can take 1st Covid Vaccination as we have a slot booked for coming week .
Thanks

Yes. He can take the vaccine. However the efficacy may be lower for him. So ask him to continue wearing mask and maintaining social distancing
