Dear user it is necessary to know how low is your platelet count and whether you had any bleeding symptoms because of this. As low platelet count is not a contraindication for vaccination but these people need special precautions for any vaccination be it is astrazeneca or any other.

Moderate elevation in platelet count beyond normal limits isn't a cause of concern. Unless you experience symptoms like pain in the legs while walking or dark colour of fingertips or nose tip, there isn't a cause of concern. To be sure, you can have a coagulation profile done and if the results are normal, there is absolutely no need to worry.

Having a high or low mpv doesn’t mean anything on its own. It should be interpreted within the context of other cbc results, such as platelet count. Several things can affect your mpv. Make sure you go over your test results completely.
