Yes, safe: Yes, the vaccine is safe for menopausal women. There are reactions reported to receiving the vaccine, usually related to the injection site, and resolves in a few days. It is best to get (any) vaccine when feeling well, unless the person is at very high risk for the condition he/she is being immunized for.

COVID 19 vaccine.: Agree with earlier response. Menopause is not a contraindication to receiving COVID 19 vaccine. So glad to hear that your mother will be getting vaccinated. Take care.
