I am looking for English translation to the following meaning:

this person is not allowed to have a flu vaccination if he has a chronicle illness and at the time of having a flu vaccination he is suffering from the symptons.

this person is allowed to have a flu vaccination if he has a chronicle illness and at the time of having a flu vaccination he has no symptons.

a lowering of the platelet count as a reaction to a flu shot. The lowering is temporary, the platelet count will go up to the normal level in a short period of time. Thanks.

Are you talking about a specific person or just people in general? At the moment you are only talking about one specific man.

Anyway, if one specific man:

This person (man/patient? might be better than 'person') should not have a flu vaccination if he has a chronic illness and is showing symtoms at the time of vaccination.

This person (man/patient?) is should have a flu vaccination if he has a chronic illness but no symptoms at the time of vaccination.

A lowering of the platelet count is a reaction to a flu shot. The lowering is temporary and the platelet count will return to the normal level in a short period of time.

The name says it all.

I am talking about people in general. These are words in a flu shot agreement which warns people of possible reactions to a flu shot.

I noticed the use of "show" in your explanation: "This person...... is showing symptoms." I wonder if show can be used this way: "The symptoms are showing at the time vaccination." Thanks.

Sorry, the blue coloured highlight prevents people from reading.

"The symptoms are showing at the time of vaccination."

You need to re-phrase these then as at the moment it sounds as though you are talking about a specific man. (You shouldn't use 'he' to refer to men and women, for example).

Do not administer the flu vaccination if the patient has a chronic illness with active symptoms at the time of vaccination.

The flu vaccination may be administered if the patient has a chronic illness but no active symptoms at the time of vaccination.

A lowering of the platelet count is a reaction to a flu shot. The lowering is temporary and the platelet count will return to the normal level in a short period of time.

For the last one, you could say:

A decrease in platelet count may result from receiving the flu shot.  This decrease is transient and will resolve within a short time period.

Actually, "transient" implies that it "comes and goes", so stick with "temporary."

What is meant by short time before platelet will go up to its normal value?  is it days?  how long?
