There are three different
vaccines available in India - Oxford-AstraZeneca's Covishield, India's Covaxin,
and Russia's Sputnik-V - and I took Covishield, which is the only available
vaccine now despite what I was about to take in case of. My dad and mom had
already completed the course of two doses of vaccine two weeks before mine.
They took the 2nd dose 6 weeks later, following their 1st dosage. For me, they
have given 90 days or 14 weeks to take the 2nd dose.
The ICMR (Indian Council of
Medical Research) has extended the duration between the 1st and 2nd dose of
vaccine from 45 to 90 days for Covishield. I don't know about the other two
vaccines. I registered online on May 1st itself, and till now, every time I
open the page of registration, it shows available for the 45+ only. So,
rejecting it, we went directly to the vaccination center as it had already
announced that differently challenged are an exception of all, and they are
true to their words.
Less than a km from home, I
reached the vaccination center riding my power wheelchair, and we had to wait
for only 10 to 15 minutes that too because of some issue going between the
staff and some public. Actually, they issued tokens to the people to take the
vaccine, and they all seated maintaining a distance, and suddenly the staffs
announced stopping of vaccination, and people erupt. After some argument, they
were allowed to vaccinate, but some went off already.
I'm feeling normal until writing down this, and no pain on the arms too, but I don't know what kind of reaction it stored for me further tonight or tomorrow. I'm quite confident that my body accepts the vaccine and works better to prevent Covid and lessen the effects of anything that comes against it. The doctors who were around me when vaccinated encouraged me to eat well and be confident. And don't go anywhere until taking the 2nd dose, without fail.
