Greeting dear friends, I have received the first dose of Covid vaccination on Saturday in a Private hospital along with my hubby. Thankfully there is no side effects so far except mild headache . Many shown complications and developed fever after the vaccination. I am happy even though the vaccination is not ensure hundred percent protection. We are planning to visit our native in the month of June, so we don't have time to spend time for quarantine. That is the reason for taking the shots in a quick manner. Now the cases are rising in a quick manner in our area too. As time passed, I think people are taking it very lightly and not giving much importance on safety measures. That may be the reason for the hike in cases recently. How may of you have taken the vaccination so far?

Not available here for everybody but it`s ok. What is important is that those frontliners and old people can have it

I think your turn will come soon. In our country first preference given for health workers then above 60 then above 45 with other issues. Now from 45 years old is going on....

I am glad you did not suffer major side effects, it is important to continue to wear the masks even after the vaccine.

Yes dear, I knew vaccination won't protect us hundred percent. We have to wear mask, use sanitizer/hand-wash and maintain the social distance.

@Sreekala I take it your arm is not sore then? I had no problems with either one I got. My arm was sore but I have bad shoulders so not sure if from that or the shot. So if the cases are rising in your area are you still going in June to visit them? I would say there are people that understood it is serious and others all along that did not get it. I have had both.

It varies. Those who have problem with first one will be alright on second and vice versa. Have to wait and see how it will work for me on the second one.

That's very good! I can't get vaccinated. Dr. Fauci said we who have bad reaction to flu vaccine, do not get covid-19 vaccine. I'm like that and don't get flu shots.

As time passed, I think people are taking it very lightly and not giving much importance on safety measures. The same thing happened here. They're tired of lockdown and wearing mask. But when we're ignoring the rules, they might get infected.

I have also taken my first shot a few days ago. I fine during the day after the vaccine, I started feeling shivers, fever and body ache in the evening. My aches and fever lasted all night long on the first day, Extra strength tylenol helped but I was not able to sleep the first night. Next day I woke up feeling alright but the shivers returned in the evening. Today is the third day and I am 100% better now.
