It is safe and highly recommended for you to get vaccinated. Your heart stent and diabetes make protection against COVID-19 very important. You can safely receive Covaxin, Covishield, or Sputnik V, as no specific vaccine is preferred over the others for your heart health. Crucially, please do not stop any of your medications, including your blood thinners (Brilinta, Ecosprin) or insulins (Mixtard, Lantus). Since you are on blood thinners, your only special precaution is to apply firm pressure at the injection site for 5 to 10 minutes without rubbing to prevent bruising. Please consult your cardiologist for a quick final approval before your appointment.
