If your mother is active, walking, eating well, no breathing difficulty.. there is no contraindication for vaccination. You can continue giving psychotropic medicines too. But it will be better to consult a psychiatrist about what medicines she is taking and when to skip the dose.Sometimes it may need to adjust the doses
