You really needn't worry: Ttere are no medical conditions and no medications that make COVID vaccination unsafe. She definitely should be vaccinated.

Please have her vaccinated for all routine,flu and COVID 19 immunizations. Discussion of concerns available by virtual appointment with Healthtap and your provider.

Your Epilem is not at all a contraindication for any vaccine. It will not promote any specific injection reactions either. So, no rationale to avoid appropriate vaccinations.
