Hello!
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your enquiry.

For your information, Covid-19 vaccine is indicated for everyone above the age of 18 except for those with history of severe allergic reaction towards medication.

We understand your worry in receiving the vaccine as you’re experiencing tonsilitis but this is not a contraindication as long as you are in good health. Please inform the medical officer at the vaccination centre about your medical condition before getting the vaccine for further instructions.

You may contact our online doctors in case you have any further questions.

Thank you, we hope this answer has been helpful!
