#AskReuters do you think those with thrombocytopenia should still get vaccinated.

@cairoferguson Important question.  Talk to your doctor as may definitely depend on your level of platelets (for those out there thrombocytopenia is low platelet counts). Most centers using similar guidelines as we use for flu vaccine.  #AskReuters

@PergamIC Haven't spoke to my doctor yet but just to know what to expect do you think a 115 platelet count should give the green light to get the jab. #askreuters

@cairoferguson @PergamIC I routinely have a platelet count less than 100! Because I haven’t had actual bleeding probs, I got the vax!

@cairoferguson That would be a go at all major cancer centers

@cairoferguson @PergamIC No. I don’t know why - best not to ask sometimes.
