But its possibility is very low. In such a situation, if you are also worried about your health, then definitely know the opinion of these experts-

How much Covishield vaccination took place in India?
After it proved to be the first and effective vaccine for COVID-19, the Government of India made the Covishield vaccine available to the general public in the country. Like the world's largest vaccination campaign, crores of people got this vaccine. According to government data, 170 crore people have got vaccinated with Covishield.

Is every person who gets Covishield in danger?
Dr. Ram Upadhyay, Scientist, at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA told Bhaskar in a conversation that everyone's metabolism is not the same. For some the side effects of the vaccine are zero and for others, it is 100%. That is why the risk of death from the vaccine is only one in 10 lakh.

Danger only for 6 months after vaccination
Dr. Vikas Kumar, Neuro Surgeon, RIMS, Ranchi (Jharkhand) told Bharaskar that there is no need to be afraid because the side effects of any vaccine are visible in 6 months, but now it is more than two years. Time has passed, so there are fewer chances of any life-threatening risk. Referring to the report of the publication of the American Society of Hematology, he has also said that the risk of side effects from the vaccine is only 3 to 15 out of 10 lakh people. Of these also 90% are cured. The probability of death in this is only 0.00013%. That means, out of 10 lakh, 13 have side effects, so only one of them will have a fatal risk.
