Can I go for health screening if I have recently taken my COVID-19 vaccination?
You do not have to delay your health screening because of a recent COVID-19 vaccination.
Blood tests: Some inflammatory markers may be elevated after a vaccination and the results can be read in the context of a recent vaccination. High sensitivity CRP for cardiac risk stratification would not be suitable for those who have had vaccinations in the past 2 weeks.
Chest X-ray: Not neccessary to wait
Pap Smear: Not neccessary to wait
Mammogram / Breast Ultrasound : You may still go for the tests without waiting but there might be occurrence of enlarged lymph nodes due to a recent vaccination and the findings can be read in the context of a recent vaccination.
