About 3.2 per cent respondents said that they did not know or couldn’t say whether they felt any side-effects or got sick after getting vaccinated.

About 32.2 per cent respondents did not know which Covid vaccine shots they got.

While 44.6 per cent respondents received doses of Covishield and 23.3 percent received Covaxine.
