Category: COVID-19 and MH

Should MHS individuals get the COVID vaccine?

My answer would be absolutely yes. Not only for public health reasons, but to minimize the risk they may be administered succinylcholine for emergency intubation for respiratory failure.

Is there any increased risk for an MHS to receive the COVID 19 Vaccine?

To our knowledge there is not, scientifically or statistically. The only current warning is for those who have had significant reactions (anaphylaxis) to previous vaccines.
