In general, individuals with long-term chronic rhinitis can receive the COVID-19 vaccine, provided they are not experiencing an acute episode of rhinitis and their current clinical symptoms are not severe. However, if the chronic rhinitis is currently in an acute exacerbation phase—characterized by symptoms such as high fever or excessive nasal discharge—it is recommended to delay vaccination until the condition improves.
