Hi all,
Today I read that liver diseases (mostly cirrhosis) was noted by the CDC as putting individuals at higher risk for COVID. I’m curious if HFI could be considered a liver disease. I’ve been extremely cautious since last March because both of my parents are high risk, but now I’m wondering if I may be as well (or slightly higher than the average person). I’m mainly wondering this because my state will be opening up scheduling for the vaccine to people 16 to 64 with comorbidities or high risk factors. I don’t currently have a primary care doctor, but would probably be able to get a note about it from Yale New Haven Hospital where I was diagnosed and taken care of as a child (if it actually is a valid risk).
Frankly this is probably a long shot since I’m generally healthy and haven’t had any serious hypoglycemic episodes in 15-20 years. Just wondering if anyone else has been curious about this or even talked to their doctor about it in relation to getting the COVID vaccine.
