The CDC explained that people with weakened immune systems due to other illnesses or medication may also receive a COVID-19 vaccine, but they should be aware that limited safety data is available on the effects of the vaccines on these individuals.
The CDC also stated in its guidance that individuals with autoimmune conditions may take the vaccine, although there is no data currently available for the safety of the vaccine in this demographic.
Those who have experienced Guillain-Barré syndrome - a condition in which the body begins to attack parts of its own nervous system - may also receive the vaccine doses. The guidance adds that following vaccination during clinical trials, there have been no instances of the syndrome.
Those who have previously experienced Bell's palsy - a condition that causes muscle weakness in one side of the face - may also receive a vaccine. Some participants during clinical trials did develop Bell's palsy following vaccination, but it did not occur at a rate above that expected in the general population.
