Guys both covaxin and covishield are available at various locations in Pune. People who took the jabs are saying it's well managed. Which one should I go for? leaning towards Covaxin.

 

Here in Kolkata nothing is available for 18-44 year olds now. Still only 45+. :(

Even i wanted Covaxin. 
But i ended up taking Covishield, because only that was available. 

My advice would be, take whatever is available t the earliest.  

Both hospitals are at same distance. So it's matter of selecting which one I want. Anyways I will wait for a week or so.

go for covaxin, for a simple reason second dose is faster and will help you get completely vaccinated faster.

 

Though ya better to atleast wait till 15th may and go when it is less crowded, as i said earlier vaccine availability will only get better and not worsen.

What if they jab you with saline instead :nerves:

Or they give a jab of redbull, then you will get wings and fly :panic:

Well well well, the doctor who works at the hospital told me that they aren't vaccinating 18-44. Probably slot was in error.

Dang

you can wait 6-12 weeks for covashield. thats quite a big time gap to get it. 

Longer chance of vaccine running out

Ahh yes suing medics is such a cool idea.

All it does is increase the cost of healthcare. If a doctor is scared of making the wrong diagnosis he'll order every test possible on the planet. For every decision the onus will be on the patient, because the the doctor is too scared to choose what is best for the patient.

It is one of the reasons why healthcare in the usa is so expensive. People sue over the smallest things. Every thing is the business' (or in this case, doctor's) liabilty. There is also an arms race between insurance companies and doctors. Insurance companies want to pay as little as possible, so doctors try to inflate bills as much as they can. There is also added costs of hospitals for hiring accountants, lawyers, etc. Too much admin overhead costs and too little going into the actual healthcare (salries of doctors, nurses, medical equipment).

 

Also just the idea of suing doctors in consumer courts is so wrong. Patients aren't customers.

So true....It's so short sighted to sue just because you can.

Doctors shouldn't even be considered under the Consumer Protection Act. They shouldn't be treated like businesses. One consequence of this (as I've learnt after a talk to a doctor) is that they may see their own profession as a business and patients as customers.

Doctors in North America are paid so well that few years ago Canadiam doctors protested against Salary hikes so nurses and support staff get better pay.
