Covaxin doses offered at a shelter home for the community in Guwahati.
Azizur Khan was caught in two minds. But her faith in Swati Bidhan Baruah, the first transgender judge in the northeastern region, convinced her to take a Covaxin shot. 
She was the youngest of some 40 transgenders in the 18-44 age group who were vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus at Tritiyo Nivas, a shelter home for the third gender in Guwahati’s Hatigaon locality.
