As an ex-Covid vaccine guinea pig, I’m relieved to have had my first jab – I took part in the Novavax trial and I had been worrying I would not be allowed an authorised vaccine. – I’m in my 70s, so I was offered an authorised vaccine in January. I asked to be “unblinded” – that is, told whether I had been given the trial vaccine or a placebo. I had had the live vaccine, so, with much misgiving, I turned down the authorised vaccine. (from the Guardian)

This will also keep people immunised against the possible third wave called Delta plus variant. Besides, as medical experts are of the opinion that two doses of vaccination will make a person 95% safe in case he gets infected by Corona. His inbuilt immunisation can easily make him well protected. This has also been clinically proved. The district administration of Cachar has been carrying out campaign in urban and rural areas involving the MLAs of the 7 constituencies to dispel any misgiving and misconception about getting vaccinated. The response is quite encouraging. (from the Sentinel)
