It is prudent to take precautions to help prevent covid infection, it is irrational to not seek needed care. Precautions are taken for your safety as well as the staff's. You are vaccinated. Depending on the procedure you may need to be tested since you can be an asymptomatic carrier.

Most doctors' offices and clinics have strongly enforced policies to prevent COVID transmission, and therefore these are not high risk sites. It's good you are vaccinated. Contact the doctor's office before your appointment to learn their policies and procedures. If they and the hospital are not overloaded with COVID patients, you should feel free and comfortable having any needed medical care.
