First Jab of Covishield Vaccine - 291

GOVID 19 VACCINATION MARCH SECOND 2021

Consider This ; Phase Two of PM Modi s plan to Vaccinate 10 Crore People in the fight against COVID 19 for all those aged above 60 years is humongous if nothing else  . The huge  population involved , the size of the nation with its varied terrain , the requirement of the vaccine  being in 2 doses 28 days apart , the need for the vaccine to be stored at a particular cool temperature , the general apathy of the public at large to be vaccinated in the first place all add up to make the whole excercise as something which only a man out of his senses whould embark upon .

PM Modi has been steadfast in his resolve to face the crisis and  has been the pillar of encouragement to all the scientists and researchers who have been successful in developing not one but two vaccines in a  record time . India and  PM Modi are now being looked as saviors and the Indian vaccines are in great demand the world over .

PM Modi set an example by choosing COVAXINE , the less preferred of the two vaccines and had a shot of it administered as the first man in phase two and kickstarted it for the whole nation to follow . 

Back to the scenario closer home at AGASTHIARPATTY, cowin.gov.in gave the place where the  Vaccine are being given close to my place of abode as Vairavikulam Ugphc near Kallidaikurichy . To be very frank , though I have been close to these parts for almost 50 years now , I have never seen this place before . Set in the middle of almost nowhere , this Upgraded Public Health Center  is a huge complex and caters to dozens of villages and settlements all around . The fact that it is Internet enabled is even more of a surprise .

The mandatory Aadhar and one more Photo ID check was done and the mobile Number noted . The nurses were very cordial and COVISHIELD vaccine was administered as an injection . Surprise of Surprises there was a message in my mobile that i have been vaccinated with COVISHIELD and could contact the nurse ( HER NAME AND MOBILE NUMBER INCLUDED ) if required at any time  . The ease with which the whole process took place has left me in total awe of our PM . That a person from a   nondescript and remote  Agasthiarpatty could avail such an advanced service from  a  totally unheard of place like  VAIRAVIKULAM is awesome  . All this totally free makes it almost unimaginable . You can cry your throat hoarse at the  petrol prices touching the Rs 100 mark . You know where the money is being spent .
