• Covid vaccine?

I have a history of blood transfusions. I have 2 heart conditions. A blood clot on my brain. Anxiety. Depression. Insomnia. Bipolar. Epilepsy. I'm allergic to amoxicillin ceclore ibuprofen and bactrim. I was wondering if I could get a medical exemption just bc I'm afraid the vaccine would be more harmful to my health whether than beneficial.

That is really something you should discuss with your physician. Sounds like you have some medical issues where the vaccine may be contraindicated. But I dont know what all the criteria are for getting a medical waiver to not have to get it. I thought it was a choice now and not being made mandatory anymore. Good luck. Since you already have clotting issues, I would have an in depth discussion with your physician on the risks of the shots before you take them.

The vaccine is safe and many people with your same medical issues have taking it without any problem. It is your decision to take it. It is like the flu vaccine. Thank you.

Good day to you! 

I am so sorry for the comorbidities you have. Medical exemption must be recommended/written by your physician, as that is an official paper, like a "Free Pass" in regard to COVID-19 restrictions.
Good luck and stay safe.

Thanks for the question.
I am sorry, but those conditions do not serve as reasons for exemption from the vaccine.
