After too many twists and turns, experts have finally come up with vaccines that could help the body fight the virus. You must be wondering why should I get the COVID vaccine. Well, there are many reasons. First of all, it reduces the risk of contracting the virus that causes Covid 19. These vaccines were developed rapidly to save people and have been ensured of all safety measures and effectiveness. The vaccine also prevents you from spreading the virus to others. You can easily be a carrier of the virus. You may be asymptomatic and may not even know you’re affected by it. In such cases, there are chances of affecting others who may respond differently to the virus. So it is always advisable to take the vaccine. 

Apart from this, the vaccine helps you get over the virus with mild symptoms without leading to adverse health conditions. If you have old people at home, you must get yourself vaccinated to keep them safe. The virus has now mutated into different variants, one of which is the delta variant which amuses more infections and spreads even faster than the previous forms of the virus that causes Covid 19. Try getting vaccinated at the earliest possible so that you can reduce the spread of this variant and stay safe.

The registration for Covid 19 vaccination can be done through a co-win app developed by the government. Register your name and Aadhar number in the app and wait for your turn. Nowadays, there are many other private camps conducted to get people vaccinated at the earliest possible. People traveling out of the country will have to get vaccinated mandatorily as per the rules of many countries.
