There is no contraindication and you are belong to high risk group so Covid-19 vaccination should be done.

Yes, muscular dystrophy is not a reason to avoid vaccination. Get your jab ASAP.

Please do! Consider: what would be more severe, the effect of the COVID vaccine or an actual COVID infection with possible lung inflammation and more. With rising infection rates and the possibility of spread of virus between vaccinated healthy individuals, risk of infection for you is significant and increasing.

Yes. Definitely get vaccinated! COVID will do harm; the vaccine will not.
