Get Vaccinated to Stay Protected: Haflong COVID Warrior Appeals to People

A CORRESPONDENT

HAFLONG: Dr Ajay Paul, a retired doctor who recently recovered from COVID infection, shared his experiences and suggested people to get vaccinated to keep themselves protected.

Talking to this correspondent, Dr Paul, who was the first person to get vaccinated in Dima Hasao and even after vaccination was infected with COVID, now feels fit and is also attending to patients. He said that his wife Dr Dipali Barman, who is also the Joint Director of Health Services, Dima Hasao, was infected along with him and recovered following the instruction from the nodal officer.

"Though I am a heart patient and an aged person, I recovered within in a very short time and there was no severity, perhaps because of vaccine. Both of us were vaccinated with double dose in the month of February," he said.

He fervently appealed to the people of Dima Hasao to get vaccinated and remain protected. "Even after vaccination if you get infected, it will not be so severe," added Dr Paul.
