Several Indian-American physicians publicly take COVID-19 vaccine, encourage others to get it

Several Indian-American physicians, in the frontline of the fight against the pandemic, are publicly taking the coronavirus vaccine and encouraging others to get the shots, emphasising that the vaccine is the "only saving grace" and a "scientific blessing" that will help the world win the battle against COVID-19.

The US began administering vaccines a week ago and has approved jabs developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

"We all should take the vaccine. It is very effective and we are seeing good results. The vaccine is the only saving grace we have right now and we have to take it," former President of the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) Dr. Suresh Reddy told PTI.
