There is a minor risk of clots with covieshield vaccine. A very few cases are being reported specially in females. Covieshiled is also relatively contraindicated in atopic individuals that is, person with any history or sever drug or food allergy. Considering ur grandmothers history of vericose veins. I would suggest you to go for covaxin , if u plan for vaccination.
