The nation-wide COVID-19 vaccination drive was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday. The Prime Minister urged the vaccine recipients not to drop out and said that the dosage must be completed. Remember, these vaccines comprise two shots. And taking both the shots is necessary. It will also take some time after the second shot to show some effects, he said. The Prime Minister also asked people to follow COVID-19 safety protocols even if they have been administered the vaccine.
