The person with COVID-19 should postpone their vaccination for 4 weeks:
– For mild cases or without symptoms, count from the time of diagnosis of the disease
– For cases that required hospitalization, count from the medical discharge.
When should I get vaccinated if I have an acute illness?
The person with any acute illness (respiratory symptoms or symptoms with fever) should be vaccinated once they have fully recovered.
