New Delhi, Jan 16 : A 22-year-old resident doctor became the first person to receive the Covid-19 vaccine shot at the Guru Teg Bhadur (GTB) hospital here on Saturday.
Akanksha Rathor has been working as a resident doctor at the GTB hospital for the past six years and has actively served the patients during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Talking to IANS, Rathor said: I was not afraid to receive the Covid-19 shot, but a lot of things did crop up in my mind. Also, being a doctor, I had to keep my emotions subdued and proceed as per the schedule. After vaccination, I was sent to the observation area for nearly 40 minutes.
