Introduction
Hypertensive patients: Patients with hypertension must not stop taking their antihypertensive medication once they start. If such individuals receive a vaccine, they might experience side effects. If they intend to get vaccinated, they should do so according to their doctor's advice. Individuals with allergies: People who have had severe hives or a history of allergic reactions should not get vaccinated first, as their allergic symptoms could become more severe.
Due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, vaccination is recommended for most people, although there are certain groups who are not suitable candidates for vaccination. Who should not receive the COVID-19 vaccine?
Individuals Unsuitable for COVID-19 Vaccination
People with hypertension: Patients with high blood pressure must continue taking their antihypertensive medications and should not discontinue them. If such individuals receive the vaccine, they may experience side effects. Those wishing to be vaccinated should do so only under medical guidance. Individuals with allergies: People who have experienced severe荨麻疹 (urticaria) or have a history of allergic reactions should avoid vaccination initially, as their allergic symptoms could worsen.
Individuals with a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome are also not advised to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Patients with epilepsy or other neurological disorders should not be vaccinated, as potential interactions between the nervous system and other conditions may lead to uncontrollable side effects after vaccination. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not receive the vaccine: Vaccines are a form of medication. Since pregnant and lactating women generally have weaker constitutions, they are currently not recommended to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
The COVID-19 vaccine helps prevent infection by the novel coronavirus. Clinically, this vaccine is categorized into several types: viral vector vaccines, detoxified vaccines, inactivated vaccines, protein subunit vaccines, nucleic acid vaccines, and virus-like particle vaccines. Most vaccines currently administered in China are inactivated vaccines. Receiving this type of vaccine can boost the body's antibody production, enabling a rapid response upon encountering the novel coronavirus, thereby eliminating the virus and preventing cross-infection. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and happiness.
