A centenarian in Reasi district of the Jammu division on Thursday set an example for others to follow when he got his first dose of the
Covid-19 vaccine during an inoculation drive organised by the district administration.
118-year-old Sher Mohammad of Mahore Tehsil in Reasi got the first jab of anti-corona vaccine. After taking the vaccine he feels others should follow the same to tackle the deadly disease.
“Today after getting the Covid-19 jab, I feel more confident and protected as the vaccine is the biggest shield against the deadly disease,” he said.
Sher Mohammad appealed to the people of the district to come forward and get vaccinated against the infection. He said the vaccine has been advised by top doctors and experts and no one should pay heed to any rumour. “If I at this age can receive the dose, I feel others shouldn’t shy away from getting vaccinated and pay no attention to hearsay,” he said.
He also prayed for the good health and safety of the whole mankind.
He said till the pandemic is over people should continue to wear masks, maintain social distancing norms besides, follow other SOPs being issued by the Government.
