Laga Bhi Dia, Pata hi Nahi Chala: PM Modi to Sister P Niveda After Receiving Covaxin Jab | Earth Indian

New Delhi: As the second phase of the coronavirus vaccination drive for people above 60 years and those aged 45 began on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the first to be inoculated against the deadly infection. Taking to Twitter, Prime Minister Modi posted a picture of himself taking the first dose of  Bharat Biotech’s COVAXIN. He was seen smiling and sporting an Assamese ‘gamocha’ while getting inoculated.

“Took my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at AIIMS. Remarkable how our doctors and scientists have worked in quick time to strengthen the global fight against COVID-19. I appeal to all those who are eligible to take the vaccine. Together, let us make India COVID-19 free!” he tweeted.

Sister P Niveda, from Puducherry, administered Bharat Biotech’s COVAXIN to the Prime Minister.  She was assisted by another nurse from Kerala Rosamma Anil.

After getting the jab, PM interacted with the nurses and complimented them saying,”Laga bhi diya aur pata bhi nahin chala (Already done? I didn’t even feel it). “Sir (PM Modi) has been administered first dose of Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin, second dose will be given in 28 days. He asked us where do we belong to and after vaccination he said, “Laga bhi dia, pata hi nahi chala“, news agency ANI quoted the nurse as saying.

The Prime Minister decided to get the jab at 6.25 AM to avoid media glare as scores of people could be queuing up at the hospital. He remained under observation for half an hour in the hospital and left around 7 AM.
