JAB FOR THE WARRIOR

There was a lot of apprehension initially about the vaccines. However, after  a lot of thinking and review, I took the first shot of covishield  with confidence. I realized that the pandemic is not over and it’s probably best to take the vaccine. There was just mild pain at the vaccine site, maybe a little exhaustion for 24-4 8hours, but no other issue.

I think with any pandemic vaccines are absolutely the most important strategy to control it. With vaccines showing  positive signs, we can once again resume our normal lives without the lurking fear and anxiety of contracting Covid-19. This the best thing that could happen this year. Though these are early days, we are optimistic we can get good coverage with the vaccination.
