Not only can you, but you should. Having Type 2 Diabetes puts patients at increased risk of having more severe Covid illness. Keep your sugars low. Keep covid away.

Yes - better than being infected by COVID
Yes you most definitely can get the vaccine and should. It will actually help decrease your risk greatly since you have a chronic condition.
Absolutely! If you are 12 years or older, you are encouraged to get covid vaccinated as you are at higher risk of more serious covid infection and complications .
