India's COVID-19 vaccine rollout has got off to a good start. There were no cases of any serious adverse events, but the glitches in the CoWin platform and vaccine hesitancy was seen in some places.
Moneycontrol spoke to couple of doctors who received Covid-19 vaccine shot. All of them expressed satisfaction on the way things went.
"I was told in the morning, that the vaccination will start at 11 am, and I should reach the hospital. I got an SMS and a call from the hospital. After the PM speech the vaccination started at Medcity, Kochi, Kerala. I have produced my identity proof, and my details such as name, address and phone number were taken. I got my vaccine shot. I was asked to wait for half an hour, the vaccination was absolutely uneventful, I straight away went to attend patients," said Dr Jeeson C Unni, Senior Consultant, Centre of Excellence in Child and Adolescent Health at Aster Medcity, Kochi of Kerala who got the vaccine on the first day.
