A member asked:
I had thrombocytopenia once secondary a virus caught in bali 19 years ago. should i be concerned about mrna or adenovirus based covid 19 vaccine?

Absolutely not. The mRNA gets metabolized and doesn't interact with one's DNA. The adenovirus does not transmit disease; it acts as a carrier.

This is not considered a contraindication for COVID 19 vaccination.
