A member asked:

Can someone that has the mthfr gene with a history of blood clots, receive the covid 19 vaccine?

Extremely rare reports of pathologic clotting - almost exclusively with AstraZeneca and J&J vaccines. Suggest 1). Check with local doc 2). Would probably get (personal opinion) but Moderna or Pfizer only. Would probably take low dose ASA for several months thereafter.

Thrombophilia, or the tendency to have blood clots, is of concern in COVID infection because of a risk for clots. This would exceed the risk from vaccine, where the cases are identified in 1/500,000 receiving the Johnson and Johnson one-dose vaccine. I would recommend taking Pfizer or Moderna. Would discuss with your hematologist.
