Meera Deosthale feels it was wise to get the frontline workers, health workers and the elderly vaccinated first. However, she expresses concern regarding the shortage of vaccines and how many people are yet to get their doses. “My mother has only managed to get her first jab as of now. I am worried about her second dose, and still waiting to get a slot for my vaccination,” she says, hoping that the vaccine crisis would get over soon.

She adds, “Health comes first, my mom used to always say that, but I never took this advice seriously before. Now I have understood it in the last one year. I have taken utmost care of myself and my family. We all have been safe through the pandemic.”
