¿Si tengo condiciones preexistentes, puedo recibir/debería recibir la vacuna contra el Covid-19?

Las personas con ciertas afecciones subyacentes o preexistentes, tales como cáncer, diabetes, enfermedades renales, obesidad y enfermedades cardíacas, tienen más probabilidades de experimentar complicaciones severas por el Covid-19 -- por lo que se les da una alta recomendación de que se vacunen.

En los ensayos clínicos, las vacunas contra el Covid-19 "demostraron perfiles de seguridad y eficacia similares en personas con algunas afecciones médicas subyacentes" que en pacientes sin afecciones preexistentes.

Sin embargo, si se siente enfermo con un resfriado, fiebre u otra enfermedad – incluyendo el Covid-19 -- inmediatamente antes de una cita para recibir la vacuna, los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) recomiendan que posponga dicha cita para recibir la vacuna hasta que se sienta mejor.
