Agree with Dr. Ferguson. In general, immunocompromised individuals are some of the individuals that most need COVID 19 vaccination. Were you asking about any specific health condition or medication? If so, consider posting again and providing clarification.

Agree with Dr Ferguson and Dr Fowler. Also, it is recommended that people who are immunocompromised speak with their own doctor to discuss the risks and benefits and make a decision based on that.
