So, my mom is 66 years old and she got her second dose of the Covishield vaccine. But then, like 8 days later, she tested positive for COVID. She's better now, thank goodness. Since she's gotten both shots, I'm wondering if she should get another type of COVID vaccine after 3 months, or is she good to go with just the Covishield doses?

Been a bit anxious about my vaccination schedule. I had a COVID infection around two months ago and just took my first Covishield shot. I'm worried because its been 68 weeks since my initial dose. Is it okay to have such a long gap between the two doses? Would love some advice on this.

yes take

I'm really concerned about the pain I've been having in my leg muscles for the past couple of years. My blood pressure keeps fluctuating between 160110 and 12586, but I really want to avoid taking any meds for it because I think I can change my lifestyle to control it. Also, my vitamin D level is at 8.0, and I noticed my cholesterol total is 218, with LDL at 157. What steps should I take to address these issues and improve my overall health?
