No. No vaccine for you. This stuff is made up of crystal clear liquid like the vaccines. Even water is not as clear as this

[Yoda-esque]

 
Do they help set up the second dose appointment ?

Not needed to setup followup appointment,you simply show up with your certificate of vaccination after 28 days.

My mother got her first dose of CoviSheild from a private  hospital today. She could go with the help of a relative, some peace of mind for all. 
 

The certificate has a quote from the Prime Minister

In my view, the whole vaccination thing was well calibrated. Anybody who has worked in operations, knows what it is like to introduce a new element. Now imagine that new element is virus on mass scale in India. With skeptics and detractors and the vulnerable. With crazy demand and rush at the centres. 
 

Again in my view this spike was coming. More spikes to come not just in India. But we are in long horse race. You have to be consistent and calibrated. Not in constant fire fighting mode. You can’t chase the spikes in infections. Vaccination strategy is medium to long term one. For a country like India, you have to be methodical. There are enough « jaichands » here waiting to sabotage.
