Hello Merry, I am taking 2 blood thinners, dont think they are a problem. (I had a 5 bypass surgery 4 years ago.) I have a bad heart valve, that needs replacing. I am now 80 yr old. The medicine in question is any of the antibiotics. They are often given out like candy. I am not taking any, but if one was on them and it came time for your 1st or 2nd shot what should one do?

The answer would have to come from your personal physician or the CDC at this point I think, but Merry has given you the best expert advice we have for you. That said, in the MAC & Bronchiectasis group, many members are on very strong antibiotics long term, and they have been told to get the vaccine as soon as it is available.
