People asked if health problems such as COPD, bronchitis, myocardial infarction and others would make the vaccine unsafe. Finally, health problems are more of a bigger reason to get the vaccine. If you have any concerns, you should talk to your doctor who knows your health history.

There is no special concern after joint replacement. You can get vaccinated whenever you are eligible.

Not. There is no risk of someone spreading the vaccine virus. MRNA vaccines do not contain any traces of the live virus.
