During such a critical time of the pandemic, it is important for all of us to take precautions and proper care. Access to an equitable distribution of vaccines is important to help end the pandemic. Though it’s quite encouraging to know that various options are already in distribution and more are going underway for development, there still seems to be some stigma around it, especially due to misinformation.
Here is our advice to you:
All ingredients in the vaccine are safe. Don’t believe false information. Listen to the professionals.
Take any COVID-19 vaccine that is available. But, ensure both doses are of the same vaccine.
Whichever vaccine you opt for, make sure to take all the recommended doses to ensure maximum protection.
Encourage everyone around you to take the vaccine.
Don’t be scared of the after-effects.
KEEP TAKING PRECAUTIONS!
Stay updated about new developments, guidelines, etc.
New COVID-19 vaccination rules recommended by NEGVAC accepted by the MoHFW:
If tested positive, keep a gap of 3 months after recovery.
If tested positive after the 1st dose of vaccine, maintain a gap of 3 months after clinical recovery before taking the 2nd dose.
For patients with serious illnesses, requiring hospitalisation or ICU care, a gap of 4-8 weeks is recommended before taking the vaccine.
Blood donations should be made 14 days after receiving the vaccine and testing negative in the RT-PCR test.
Screening by Rapid Antigen Test before vaccination is not required.
Vaccination is recommended for all lactating women.
As medical professionals, we, at AllCure Hospital encourage all patients and fellow countrymen to take your timely shot of vaccination to help decline the curve and put a stop to another deadly wave of this virus.
