Manish Kumar is a 34-year-old machine operator at AIIMS and became the first person in Delhi to get the COVID-19 vaccine. He said that he had himself asked the hospital authorities to be vaccinated first as his colleagues chosen for the exercise were "scared" to get the jab. Kumar, whose mother Laxmi Rani also works at the hospital, said he was not at all nervous, had a good sleep and was "proud of getting the vaccine".
Many of them were scared. So, I went to my seniors and said I should be given the vaccine first. I wanted to prove to my colleagues that there is no need to be scared," Kumar told PTI. A resident of Najafgarh, Kumar has been working at the hospital for the last eight years.? He said his wife was very nervous as well.
"She even asked me not to take the vaccine. I told her it is just an injection. After taking the dose, I asked my mother to tell my wife that I am safe," he said. "It's been more than two hours and I feel proud and great. I would like to tell everyone that the fear about the vaccine is unwarranted. I have not noticed any reactions so far. There is no pain,?or trouble breathing or difficulty?in moving my limbs," he said.
