A member asked:

Is there any need for measuring bp before covid vaccination?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

This does not appear customary, and have not witnessed blood pressure measurements when have participated in large population vaccinations. Certainly, a good way of screening for hypertension but not at all vital to have the jab.
