Time for booster jabs, but 14 lakh yet to take second shot in Telangana

HYDERABAD: Despite the rapid increase in Covid-19 cases each passing day, the reluctance to take precaution doses and in many cases even second doses, remains persistent. Many have overshot their due date to take the jab by 3 to 4 months now and are still in two minds whether to complete the vaccination or not.

For 45-year-old Ramesh Kumar Yadav, getting infected after having completed two doses of vaccination was reason for avoiding the precaution dose. "After I got infected, I read everything that I could about the Covid vaccines and figured out that the vaccine gives partial immunity and still there are chances of getting infected. Now I don't feel the same sense of urgency to get the precautionary dose like I did when getting the first two doses," he said adding that he had stood in a queue for hours to get his previous doses.
