Hi Doctor, My mother has high blood pressure and thyroid issues. In the past, she has undergone multiple surgeries, including three hernia operations, appendix removal, and a sterilization procedur, around 11 operations in total. Could you please advise about COVID19 vaccination for her? Specifically, which tests should be done before vaccination, and what parameters in the blood report should be within normal limits?

COVID vaccine is safe. Ensure BP and thyroid are stable. Recommend CBC, TSH, creatinine, ECG before vaccination if elderly or with comorbidities.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

My son had a severe allergic reaction due to a medicine he took for sudden pain in his leg joints. The reaction appears as red dots all over his legs, which are also painful at times. It looks similar to severe mosquito bites, and there are no purple dots. The doctor indicated a possibility of vasculitis, but the blood report stated otherwise. His rheumatoid factor is 8.5.

Please clarify my report. Is my CBC report normal or not? Can you also clarify my thyroid test report? Is there any problem?
