“When can I get the COVID after heart stent surgery?”
I had heart stent surgery 2 weeks ago. When can I get the COVID after heart stent surgery?

Immediately.
If you mean the COVID vaccine, I would wait one month so that your immune system has recovered from surgery. I hope that you are talking about a booster. If not, get vaccinated prior to the heart surgery. There is no good time/date to get the COVID -19 illness if you are a heart patient.

You can get it now. The stenting should not be affected or affect the vaccine response.
I will have to assume you mean when can I get the COVID vaccine or a booster? If that is your question then you should be able to get it at any time from this point on.
