Vaccines prevent Covid. And those who get a vaccine do not get very sick. Almost always. Ventilators in ICUs send Covid patients home. Almost occasionally. Vaccine or a ventilator- the choice is yours.

India vaccinated a population bigger than New Zealand 🇳🇿 in a single day today !!!

A landmark achievement ! Over 8 million doses administered on the first day under the new phase of COVID-19 Vaccination in India. The present phase of vaccination was announced by PM @narendramodi on 7th June.

A study of >31,000 vaccinated healthcare workers at #Apollo Hospitals found that < 5% were infected, with no mortality The study covered the period from Jan 16 to May 31- which means it covered the #CoronaSecondWave, #DeltaVariant This is such good news for #healthcareworkers

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health and daily routine currently, here’s a table that has REALLY helped me I do 1-2 tasks from each bucket daily and it’s been a great way to stay on track #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

We should stop saying #SocialDistancing instead use the term #PhysicalDistancing #SocialDistancing → negative impact on mental health #PhysicalDistancing → positive impact on reducing Covid spread #HealthCommunication in the time of #Covid

My compliments to @oyorooms for having offered its hotels across India for accommodating Doctors & health staff who have been working round the clock to contain the Covid pandemic & also for quarantine & isolation facilities of individuals who need it. Well done.

As much as we pray for our loved ones, the doctors, nurses and all frontline workers need to be backed with lot of prayers. It's their mental strength that is holding the health system till now. Remember them in your daily prayers. They are indeed the real super heroes of India.
