 The COVID-19 vaccination process has been running for more than a week in Indonesia by targeting groups of health workers (nakes) as a priority. Before being vaccinated, the recipient of this vaccine must meet a number of health requirements.
For patients with comorbidities, they will not be given an injection of the corona vaccine. However, there are several ways that people with hypertension or diabetes can receive vaccinations, provided that they control the disease first.
"If anyone has a comorbid disease, from now on while they haven't had their turn, make efforts to control the disease," explained the pulmonary specialist at the Friendship Hospital, Dr. Erlina Burhan, in a virtual discussion, Saturday (23/1).
Erlina gave an example for people with hypertension. Patients who already have very high blood pressure are not eligible for the vaccine.
 

"However, if the patient is healthy and able to take regular medication, then go to a doctor and get his blood pressure under control. And if the condition is that the blood pressure is below 140/90, then that person deserves to be vaccinated," said Erlina.
Likewise, people with diabetes can be vaccinated, but still have to pay attention to the level of severity first. Diabetics can do an HbA1C (hemoglobin A1C or blood test for diagnosing diabetes -ed) to the nearest doctor to see if the disease is controlled or not.
 

"So, if you have diabetes, you should come to the doctor, check yourself and find out where you are. If your HbA1C is below 7.5, you will get a ticket to be vaccinated," he said.
Erlina reminded that this vaccination is not only to prevent exposure to the corona virus. But it can also direct yourself to be able to think more about your health condition.
"So start knowing our health status. This is the precautionary principle of vaccination," concluded Erlina.
