BENGALURU/HAVERI/DHARWAD/MYSURU: When Shubha Premavathi, a medical professional who had been registered to receive the vaccine on Saturday, stepped out of her home in Balachandra Layout, Babusabpalya, she received a loud cheer from her neighbours, who had been waiting to show their support.
The gesture delighted Premavathi, 47, who proceeded to the vaccination centre and took the first dose. She works as a radiology technician at CV Raman General Hospital. “My husband and two sons were a bit worried, but I told them that the vaccine was safe and as a medical professional, I needed to set an example for others,” she told STOI.
