On Thursday, Indian Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant said that he has got his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Pant urged people to get the vaccine whenever they are eligible. "Got my first jab today. When you are eligible, please step up and get the vaccine. The sooner we do it, the sooner we can beat this Virus," Pant tweeted.

Bollywood actress Konkona Sen Sharma, too, on Tuesday said that she has taken the first vaccine for COVID-19.

"After playing vaccine vaccine for a few days we finally got jabbed! Got my first shot of Covaxin today! It is, after all, possible to get a slot from the CoWin site," wrote Konkona, along with a string of pictures she shared on Instagram from the vaccine centre.
