Absolutely, unless otherwise told by your PCP or Nephrologist. Or have had severe reactions to a mRNA vaccine previously and been told you were allergic to an ingredient. MRNA vaccines contain material from the virus that causes COVID-19 that gives our cells instructions for how to make a harmless protein that is unique to the virus. After our cells make copies of the protein, they destroy the genetic material from the vaccine.

You definitely should. You are at higher risk of complications from covid if you get the virus.
