How safe are both the Covid vaccines?

Both manufacturers of Covid-19 vaccines  ‘Covishield’ and ‘Covaxin’, have advised people against getting vaccinated, if they are allergic to several factors which include ingredients of the dose or those who are on blood thinners, bleeding disorders and other health-related issues. 

The question is how is the common man expected to know which are the ingredients in the dose that trigger allergies and a host of side effects that are alarming and life threatening. 

The manufacturers have undoubtedly played safe by warning people against side effects, but the list of such adverse reactions is too serious to ignore, considering the number of people who have succumbed worldwide after getting vaccinated. 

Lately, around 23 people died in Norway after the first dose, a Portuguese nurse died 2 days after being vaccinated, and now it is reported that more than 12,000 people in Israel have tested Covid-positive after the first dose. 

Clinical trials are still on in laboratories to prove the efficacy of these doses. So, in such a frightening and uncertain scenario, the overall feeling is that it would be better to play safe and refrain from being vaccinated, till the situation is under control.
