After the vaccination, Jagat Ram said that he and his wife felt absolutely fine and had no adverse reaction even after four hours of receiving the vaccine jab.
Sharing about the mild infection associated with the vaccine, Jagat Ram said the mild reaction after vaccination was a good sign because the immune system of the body was reacting to the vaccine and creating antibodies.
He said mild fever, body ache or joint pains could occur for a day or two, which will subside automatically, and people are free to contact the medical experts.
