Opinion | Why Covid vaccines are safe and effective
On Tuesday, I took my first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine at a private clinic near my house. I will have the second dose of Covishield after 28 days. Friends and acquaintances asked me how I felt after I got the jab. Actually, I did not feel anything at all, when the vaccine was injected. There was no pain, no feeling, everything was normal.
I advise all Indians above 60 years of age to go ahead and get the Covid-19 vaccine. The vaccine is available free in government hospitals. There is no risk involved, nor are there any side effects. Some friends asked whether they should take the Covishield or Covaxin. I told them, both the vaccines are alright, as they are already tested and their efficacies are strong. Some asked what precautions one has to take after taking the vaccine. I told them they can lead a normal life, have a normal diet, there was nothing to worry about.
