I was the first health care beneficiary to get vaccinated probably in the country at 10.30.A.M on 16 th January- on the day of launch of the Covid-19 vaccination drive in the country. Post vaccination- I had mild heaviness for the left arm and mild chill? which lasted for a day .There after I was normal I didn't take any medicine .I got covishield. I want to convey to my curofy friends- come forward and get vaccinated. Don't believe rumours To my surprise, our health care workers are reluctant to get vaccinated.
