Regarding vaccination
Hello Dear doctors,
My mom (45F) is planning to take 1st dose of corona vaccin (covaxin).
The problem is, she is a heart surgery patient. In 2015 we did Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR) surgery, after that she is taking blood thinner medicine (tab acitrom 3mg) along with tab amifru and tab Lanoxin.
Her current INR is 3.
Please guide us about her vaccination.
Is it safe to take vaccine for her.
Should we stop tab acitrom before taking vaccine?
Will it make any impact if INR is 3.
Please help us in best possible way on this.
Thanks you.

Hello,
She can take vaccine. Do not stop acitrom. Ask the vaccine centre to give vaccine with 23 number needle and give firm pressure on vaccine site for 10 minutes qfter the injection.
Take care. Stay safe. Have a great day
