A member asked:
I have factor v leiden (one copy). i'm not on blood thinners. is it advisable to get a covid vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection with COVID-19 is a risk factor for increased clotting, so with one copy of Factor V leiden, vaccination with inherent benefits of diminishing serious manifestations of the viral infection is a presumed benefit.
