I took my covid-19 vaccine today. It was Covishield. There are several things that the internet provides information about, but I am thinking to provide step-by-step information about how it feels after taking the covid-19 vaccine.

I booked a slot from Cowin Website started by the government from 2 to 3 PM. As we moved to the hospital, there was proper guidance about where to park your vehicle and then go for the vaccine.

After entering the hospital, we were asked to show aadhar card and were asked to give details about name, date of birth, etc. Then we were asked to reach out to a hall where people can wait for their slots or for their turn.

Also, at that time an attendant was asking for the secret code that was sent to our mobile at the time of booking the slots. This whole process took only 15 mins, and the staff was professional and helpful a lot.

Then after receiving the admission card, we went ahead to the doctor's cabin, where we were given covishield.

Well, obviously like everyone else, I was also afraid to take vaccines, but doctors are so trained, that I didn't even felt a prick. During that time itself, I asked the medical practitioner, what to do if I felt some symptoms of fever or body pain.

She told that you can take Dolo-650 if you felt pain. I will not recommend it. Please consult the doctor while taking the injection, because I don't have good knowledge about medicines and don't want anyone to get into any trouble.

I myself brought the Dolo-650 and went home. After reaching home, I was feeling fine and worked on my projects, and also provided a lecture to students at 6 PM.

At around 7:30 PM, my body started feeling a bit hotter, and my body started aching. I still worked till 9:30 PM, then had dinner. This is because I wanted to have the fever medicine, as I was feeling tired.

Right now, while writing this blog post, I feel ill at 10:38 PM, and would most probably go to sleep. 

Hope this article gave you some insight into how many hours it takes the body to understand the effects.

In my case, it took around 4 hours to feel some fever and body pain symptoms.

Should we be afraid of these symptoms?
No, these symptoms are a part of the vaccination process. I will try to explain how vaccines work, but please take more information from the doctor.

Usually, the work of a vaccine is to introduce the body to the virus in diluted form to ensure that body recognizes it and creates antibodies to get rid of the same. That's why getting fever after vaccination is sometime a good sign.

This shows that the vaccine is working.

Secondly, if after taking the vaccine, you are encountered with covid-19 virus from some other person, chances of severe illness because of that is reduced.

Conclusion:
It feels a bit weird that we are appreciating getting fever, but sometimes we have to go through tough times or sickness before we can get some cure.

This is the way how every one of us evolves.

Saying no to vaccines is not an option, because you have a moral duty towards your family as well to keep them safe.

Several people around the world think that there are side effects of vaccines. Yes, there might be, but the number of lives it saves is really huge. Some people don't even give polio vaccine to children in some parts of the world, and that is actually sad as viruses like these have always put a blot on history and nature is giving us a chance to evolve as it gave at the time of black plague, sars or some other bacterial or viral epidemic or pandemic.

I will update you all about my health status tomorrow as well. Let me know if you have some other views or some precautionary measures.
