Abstract
A vaccine is considered to be one of the best options in public health safety, specifically when there is no effective vaccine available against that infectious disease.6 Classic vaccine development often takes years, but developing a vaccine for the prevention of Covid- 19 has turned out to be a race between viruses and humans, and along with the identification of other similar strains has made it more difficult. COVID- 19 has serious and life-threatening complications and no one knows how COVID- 19 is affecting.13 Firstly vaccines are given to health care workers in public and private. The vaccine is first given to one crore healthcare workers around India working in both government and private hospitals according to the recommendation by NEGVAC. It is mandatory to monitor the patient for the next 15 minutes after taking the Covid 19 Vaccine shot. Most of the side effects occur within the next 3 days after vaccination. If someone has a history of allergic reactions which is not related to vaccines or injectable medications, they can still take Covid 19 Vaccine. If someone getting an immediate allergic reaction after getting the first dose of Covid 19 Vaccine, then he/she should not take the second dose of the vaccine. Even though the vaccination strategy throughout the globe is in peak, the people are asked to follow the similar guidelines to prevent the transmission of corona virus. Therefore throughout the world, several ministries of health and family welfare have asked people to maintain social distancing, wearing facemasks in public, using hand sanitizers, washing hands, avoid crowded places and maintain personal hygiene.
