The second concern that people have is that even after getting vaccinated, there are cases of people still getting infected.

How can that be?

There are several reasons for this. The first is that vaccines don't work instantly. It takes some time for your body to build up immunity. Look at this graph. This graph shows that after taking the AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccines, after the first dose, the effectiveness of the vaccine at certain intervals.

In the first couple of weeks, the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine is only 38% and that of AstraZeneca is 70%.

But after 30 days, this effectiveness reaches 94% of the AstraZeneca vaccine and at 85% of Pfizer.

The second reason is that to get the full effect of the vaccine, you need to take both doses of the vaccine. You'd say that there have been cases where both the doses of the vaccine were taken and a long time had elapsed. But even after that people got infected.

This is why, friends, the third reason is that even if you take both doses of the vaccine and wait for 30 days, you may still get infected with Covid-19.

Because vaccines are not 100% effective. They are only 94% - 95% effective even after everything. But there is very good news. The good news is that after taking both the doses and waiting for 30 days the risk of hospitalization is almost 0% and the risk of death is almost 0%.

This means that after taking the vaccine you might get Covid-19. But it would not be so severe that you'd need to be hospitalized or you might die.

This wouldn't happen. In fact, some experts have also claimed that in all these vaccines AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, all have 100% effectiveness in protecting you against death in case you get infected with Covid-19 after taking both doses.

In the other vaccines, Pfizer, Moderna, and Covaxin, no harmful side effects have been seen in them. If they haven't come up yet, chances are that they wouldn't be any in the future either.

Because it has been several months since they were being used. I hope that the concerns, fears, and doubts that you had about their effectiveness and side effects of the vaccines have been cleared.

Now one thing is certain that we need to get vaccinated.

The second problem that arises is whether we'll get vaccines from the government. Vaccine shortage is being seen all over the country. One of the reasons for it is said to be the government's initial focus on exporting the vaccines. Sharing the vaccines with other countries.

The government boasted about this as well. Claiming to have exported more vaccines than those administered to the citizens. Which isn't a good decision. You'd remember, in aeroplanes, when the oxygen mask drops down they tell you to wear your own mask first and then help others.

Because your own safety is more important. Which the government did not do here. Experts have suggested several solutions to deal with the shortages of vaccines. The biggest solution would be to allow other vaccines in India. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines available in other countries should be allowed to enter India. It will be a bit expensive but the people who can afford it can buy these vaccines by paying more.

So that there would be vaccines for those who can't afford them. Quite a simple logic. I hope the government allows the other vaccines and is transparent about the data.

Thank you very much.
