Covid vaccine
Hello Doctors,
My father is asymptomatic covid positive patient and currently taking medicine as 0er doctor's advice, also in home isolation. As the rest of the family members was in touch with her hence we are also highly suspect to be Covid positive. This is why the doctor asked us to take some medicine as a preventive measure.
Now as per ICMR guidelines my father will take the vaccine after 90 days but what about us? Can the rest of the family members can take the vaccine anytime? Or we need to wait for a particular period?

You all need to get tested first. If negative then take the vaccine. If positive then the same guidelines will be followed.
