Though vaccination against Covid is going on and the number of infections have come down, people should not drop their guard, say health experts. Avoiding unnecessary travel, maintaining social distance and wearing masks when stepping out are key to staying safe now on, say doctors.
After launching the vaccination drive on January 16, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his address to the people of India, cautioned that precautions must not be thrown to the wind.
He also said, "I want to remind people of the country that two doses of the Corona vaccine are very important. Don't commit the mistake that you take one dose and forget the second one. As experts have been saying, there will be a gap of about one month between the two doses."
