In India people believe that Doctors,Healthcare workers and government take due care before approving a vaccine. In advanced countries people are more aware that there are many instances where medicines are approved and later redacted due to poor efficacy, side effects or other reasons.

An approval by DCGI or FDA doesn’t necessarily mean that the vaccine is safe and efficacious. It is best to wait for vaccines to be established to be safe before taking them. Maybe wait for a year after Phase 3 clinical trials and then read look for updates.

Until then stay safe with proven measures like wear masks, avoid crowds, Hand sanitize frequently etc.
