Asked by Female, 66 · 2 days ago

Yes, it is generally safe and highly recommended for your grandmother to receive either Covaxin or Covishield. These vaccines are crucial for her protection, especially with her asthma and diabetes. She should continue all her daily medications, including her Aerocort inhaler, Vozet, Zoryl M2, and Omnacortil-5 (prednisolone). The steroid Omnacortil-5 itself can raise blood sugar levels, and temporary post-vaccine stress or mild fever might cause minor, temporary fluctuations. Please monitor her blood glucose levels closely for a few days after vaccination and consult her doctor if you notice any significant spikes.
