Jay Mahawer, a 24-year-old nursing staff at Moolchand Medcity in Southeast Delhi, said he read about the vaccine and its side effects on the Internet. There have been reports of reaction (adverse events) following vaccination. So, there was a little bit of anxiety, he said.
Mahawer said he made up his mind only after he read about AIIMS Director Dr. Randeep Guleria taking the shot. I experienced dizziness for a few minutes after taking the vaccine. My family was already scared. So, I have not told them yet. I am feeling fine now, he said.
