'Laga diya aur pata bhi nahi chala': PM told nurse after receiving vaccine

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today took his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) in the national capital. Sister P Niveda, who hails from Puducherry, administered Bharat Biotech's COVAXIN jab to the Prime Minister, and was assisted by another nurse Rosamma Anil, who hails from Kerala. "After he was administered the jab, Sir said: laga bhi diya aur pata bhi nahin chala (Already done? I did not even feel it)," Niveda said, while Rosamma said the Prime Minister was pretty comfortable during the process. The prime minister also posted a picture of himself taking the first dose of the vaccine in which he is seen sporting an Assamese 'gamocha' and getting inoculated with a smile on his face. Interestingly, Puducherry, Assam, and Kerala are all going to the polls later this year.
