Tests to be performed before vaccination
Hello - I am planning for covid vaccination in coming days for my mother (age 65). She has a habit of eating betel leaf (paan with tobacco) and drinks alcohol. Is there any pre vaccination medical tests to be performed for her? She doesn't have any health issues so far and is not under any medication.
Please suggest.
Thank you.
