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.

As per my report, my ferritin levels are high, and my chest Xray shows inflammation. I have also used Remdesivir, but the inflammation is not reducing. How many days will it take to heal? I also have rashes all over my body and body weakness. Please advise.
