Hello Ma'am,
According to my research, there is no data in the literature indicating a contraindication to vaccination against COVID-19 in patients with this mutation. Some data even report that certain variations of this mutation may increase the vulnerability of these patients following COVID-19 infection.
To date, the only contraindication to vaccination is an anaphylactic reaction to any component of the vaccine.
Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
Happy day,
