Yes it is highly recommended to get vaccinated as of now looking at the scenario, it is proven that covid vaccine decreases the severity of the disease and shortens the disease interval and mortality. Before getting vaccinated just look out that you don't have any active symptoms of the covid infection. If accessible do a crp or a rapid test before hand, and if negative proceed with the vaccination. All and everyone including the people with co morbidities must be vaccinated, which ever vaccine is available. Regards.
