Asking For Self, Female 28, Karachi

Aoa. I get seizures often triggered by sleep deprivation and low blood sugar.. I am also taking medicines for it . Kindly guide me whether it is safe to get vaccinated having these issue alongside . Thanks in advance

General Physician in Hafizabad - Dr. Waqas Ahmad

Walsikum us salam,
The experts have not classified seizures as a contraindication to Covid vaccine.
As per my knowledge, the only vaccine after which seizures were noted were Johnson and Johnson type vaccine. But that too was a weak association.
Being said that, risk of developing seizure after Covid infection is higher than after vaccine.
