The COVID vaccination drive like all the states also kick-started after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the world`s biggest COVID vaccination drive on Saturday amid the euphoria and celebrations across the country.
56-year old Bipasha Sett was the first person to get the shot at this private hospital in Kolkata. She is posted at the ICU of Kolkata`s AMRI Hospitals for the last 10 months.
With tears in her eyes and accompanied by her husband, she said, "Today I am very hopeful that a lot of lives can be saved now because over 10 months, I have seen many deaths. I am feeling perfectly fine after getting vaccinated. It`s just like any other vaccine."
She described the challenges of surviving the Covid phase while working at the ICU. "My family is much relieved because I was at risk of contracting Covid. My children were very worried. I used to go through an elaborate sanitisation process after returning home every day. It was tough to see people dying and be emotionally intact while fighting the battle."
