A booster dose is very important for everyone to avoid the corona epidemic. By the way, Covaxin and Covishield are present in booster doses. According to experts, the booster dose of Covaxin or Kovishield is very effective to protect against Covid 19.

How to register

You can register for the booster dose both online and offline. You can also get a booster shot by visiting the vaccination centre directly. According to experts, if an elderly person has any kind of disease, then definitely consult a doctor before taking a booster dose.

Keep these things in mind before taking a booster dose

  • Before taking the third dose of the corona vaccine, follow the covid protocol. Wear a mask, wash your hands frequently and keep your distance from people.
  • Before taking the booster dose, give rest to the body and get enough sleep. Due to lack of sleep, the immunity of the body becomes weak.
