Doctor certificate for COVID 19
Hi,
I'm looking to get my mother vaccinated for COVID as soon as possible.
She has hypertension for the last 5 years and she has been taking Telma 20 for the same.
Can you please advise if I can get doctors certificate over online as I believe it is necessary for patients with underlying problems to get vaccinated ?

You don't need any such certificate for the same.
Just make sure that she is not having any immunosuppressant therapy in form of a steroid or any other immunomodulatory drugs.
If she is on one, kindly consult the prescribing doctor first.
Kindly get her vaccinated as soon as possible.

Not necessary. Now anyone above 45 with or without underlying problems can get vaccinated.
