7. Avoid taking Steroids and Pain killers 

don't use them a week before and after your vaccination.

8. Use over- the -counter pain relievers if needed

you shouldn't take a pain reliever right before you get vaccinated, if you are feeling arm pain or any discomfort it is safe to have one at that time.Possible side effects of vaccine are arm pain, chills, fatigue, muscle pain so no need to panic.

9. Wear proper clothing and keep Documents ready

wear something that gives easy access to your upper arm area so that the whole process goes smoothly.And also carry your Adhar card or any other document which is compulsory to take along in your area with you.

10. Avoid Alcohol the day before and on the day of vaccine.

since the vaccine don't have 100% efficacy you have to follow the precautionary measures. Wear face masks, hand hygiene and physical distancing to be followed.
