AstraZeneca Started to Roll

There was initial hesitation. But then few doctors in my family worked proactively to spread the awareness. Today all the seniors in my family, friends and relatives are vaccinated with two doses. Whoever was eligible in the age criteria so far has got shots. Now it opens for all above 18 in our country on 1 May.

My mother-in-law and my big sister whoa re both seniors are quite uneasy about this vaccine. But I hope that they will soon get over it.

I have taken. I did not feel much for six to eight hours then headache and fever..I took a dolo (paracetamol), and by next morning I was fine. Though weak. In a day, that also was cured. I would be taking the second shot today or tomorrow.

I am getting my first shot on April 25th

My FIL already his vaccine (Sinovac). He is senior already, so far no effects whatsoever

The US did senior citizens and high risk first. we are at 50% of the entire population vaccinated.

Tell mom, nothing to be worried about. I am a senior citizen with high blood pressure, thyroid and fibromyalgia, I have taken Astra Zeneca and I am fine. I had chills, fever and body ache for about four days and that's about it. Good luck.

I had my first dose on 3rd April as here it's been given to the people above age of 45 years and next dose is due in mid of may. Yes there is misconception among the people about these vaccines . People should take the dose so that we all may get rid of this deadly virus.

People are not worried here, there are those who do not want to be vaccinated, but not because they worry, they are against the vaccines.

Most here got the shots

I am a senior citizen. I have taken both doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. The general view is the risks are very limited. It is much worse getting infected even in a milder form

@Shavkat I am a senior citizen and waited quite a while before I got my first shot. I did not want to be with too many people and also the side effects bothered me. One day I decided to get the shots.

No, for the most part for they miss family, si most eager for vaccination.

I don't really know whether the senior citizens in the country are also injected with Astrazeneca or not, because previously we were injected with Sinovac and senior citizens are still safe from excessive negative effects, I hope your mother will get well soon

My father has had two doses of Covaxin. Some other folks that I know have got one or two doses and so far I have not heard of serious side effects. A few folks had fever for a few days or some pain but nothing serious. I did heard of some serious post-vaccination incidents but they have been quite rare.

I am not in a hurry to get the vaccine, I do not trust them yet.

Others feel it too. But I think we need to tell them to look at the numbers. The percentage of those who experienced side effects is very small.

Some do fine with the shot others have symptoms but the symptoms shouldn't be as bad as actually getting covid-19. You're mom hasn't had that yet I hope? If not the symptoms or side effects should be minimal and maybe last a day. Where if she doesn't get it the virus could impact her for weeks. I don't know how the vaccine is there in comparison to ours or what's in Europe. Have there been bad responses from the vaccine there at all?

My parent are having separate views. Dad voluntarily and eagerly took both doses. Mom is like "what will change, There are idiots out there not following social distancing norms. and there are cases where people are getting affected after both doses as well." I am not sure if this is effective yet. but Yes when it comes to elderly, They should take the vaccine. Even if there is a slim chance to get rid of the pandemic. they should opt it

In my country, Those who took the first shot are worried , because it seems it is taking longer to import more to take care of the second dose
