Thanks for sharing this story. Scary, but yeah heard from other people as well. I am at present in our old home in Uttarpara so that Entally address won't work for me (don't have car). Will try to see whether any hospital nearby giving vaccines or not. Does she need to be registered on that Covin app or something? Heard something along the line.Get you mom vaccinated ASAP if she does not have major medical complications. My dad was quick off the bat and got his Covishield first dose on 2nd week of March as all his college friends/bank colleagues were getting the same.
Its a bit anecdotal but out of around 30-40 people in my dad's 60 YO+ group one had fever after 1st dose of Covishield for a couple of days.
On my family's side my father's younger brother(61 YO) was hesitant about vaccines and he succumbed to COVID on 17th May. I had to bloody lock our apartment door to prevent my parents from going to the funeral. My dad is the last one left as my older uncle succumbed to COVID in the first wave.
On my mom's side her 2 cousins had COVID. The first one was asymptomatic for sure and was hit hard with COVID after the first dose but managed to survive.
The other one got overconfident after his 1st dose and managed to contract COVID after mingling with people. He also survived.
One of my colleague's entire family was infected but his dad had COVAXIN 1st dose and survived. Another girl I worked with lost her mother(56 YO) as she wasn't vaccinated but her father survived. He was vaccinated with his 1st dose.
The vaccine doesn't prevent suffering but it will at least give you a fighting chance.
One of my colleagues managed to get his mom's 2nd dose here and there wasn't too much of a queue.

I will tell you one thing though. If you are asymptomatic it will hit you hard. One of our colleagues(18-44) had high fever for 4-5 days after getting his first shot.
