Currently, India is in the third phase of the vaccination, but still, people are hesitating because of the side effects. But as per experts, there is nothing to be worried about, these are just mild symptoms like fever and headache. To clear more on the side effects of the vaccine, the Ministry has rolled out some steps to monitor and report the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. Check out the steps below: 

  1. Before getting vaccinated, you must consider if you ever had a severe allergic reaction to a vaccine. If yes then you must talk to your doctor before getting vaccinated. 
  2. Health or medical conditions listed as precautions by the vaccine manufacturer or the local immunization program should be assessed. The conditions might include pregnancy, compromised immune system and severe frailty among older people. People with these conditions are eligible to take the vaccine dose but they should consult a doctor first.
