By: Namit Shah AHMEDABAD: After the sinister second wave of Covid-19, an increasing number of people went on to get vaccinated from across Ahmedabad and more so since the past three days as one does not need to book a slot any more.
As the second wave subsided, people have begun stepping out and heading to vaccination centres to get on-spot vaccination at the earliest.
Chirag Goud, a 35-year-old business associate from a public-sector bank, said, “I went for my second dose of Covishield vaccine.
I contracted Covid-19 in November last year and I do realize the importance of vaccination.
I guess I will feel more safer to go to work being fully vaccinated.” Similarly, Radhinkumar Shah, 56, a military contractor said, “I have taken one dose and I have come with my mother for vaccination today.
If my family and I take the vaccine, chances of getting Covid-19 again are low.
Even if we contract the virus somehow, it won’t be as severe.
With the third wave looming, it is best to get vaccinated.” Shah had to stay separate from his family for two weeks due to the infection.
After witnessing the effects first-hand, he doesn’t want to endanger his family and thus, brought his mother along for vaccination.
A lot of people who suffered from Covid-19 during the second wave were keen on getting vaccinated.
Moreover, with no requirement to book slots beforehand, there were really no excuses left.
Mansi Rathaur, a 20-year-old college student said, “Everyone in my family got infected in April.
I was determined to get vaccinated at the earliest.”
