The new guidelines say that you should wait for 6 months after recovery from covid19 to take the vaccination.
However, if you were not hospitalized for the same then you may take the vaccine 8-12 weeks after stopping the covid19 related prescribed medications.
Next Steps
Kindly consult a doctor if he is on any immunosuppressant therapy post covid infection.
