I want to know about COVISHIELD (Indian), COVID 19 vaccination in myasthenia Gravis patients

@miniide Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.

I'm not sure if the above topic will be covered or not. I think it's certainly worth watching and finding out.

Below I have linked the COVID-19 group. You may wish to scroll through the discussions or start a new one related to your question.

May I ask what your doctor or public health authority advises regarding your condition and the vaccine?

The advice, from the conference, regarding covid19 was to get the vaccine, any vaccine that you can get. There were slides that addressed those on IVig, and the vaccine. I won't repeat what was said, there were recommendations. The links are good for 90 days to watch the video recordings, it's like Zoom, and can be found in the "Theater" at the conference.
