- With certain underlying medical conditions which are at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
- Congenital or acquired angioedema.
- Immune deficiency/disorder, whether due to genetic defect, immunodeficiency disease or immunosuppressive therapy.
- Platelet disorder or other bleeding disorder may cause injection contraindication.
- Prior chronic administration of immunosuppressant or corticosteroids, cytotoxic treatment in last 6 months before first vaccination.
