I have atrial fibrillation, so clotting is an issue.
I'm having a procedure next week which requires me to go off my blood thinners for three days.
I've delayed getting the vaccine until after the procedure, only because I didn't want to be off the thinners while the vaccine kicked in.
I'm booked in for the jab the following Tuesday.
It's been a bit of a runaround.
My GP's clinic are not doing the vaccine.
The medical centre where I'm getting the vaccine wanted a Health Summary from the GP.
The GP gave me the OK for the AZ.... for everything except the Atrial Fibrillation.
He wanted the cardiologist to sign off on that...which he did.
There seems to be a bit of 'covering themselves', which I actually don't mind, but it did take few doctors visits and phone calls.
