<p>Even though people who get vaccinated do not get to choose which vaccine they receive, if given a choice, 25 per cent of citizens said Covishield, and 33 per cent said Covaxin.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another 37 per cent of citizens said they do not have a preference. There were only 5 per cent citizens who said they would wait for other vaccines to come.<br />

The total adverse events reported are under 10,000 and adverse event deaths post-vaccination at less than 100.</p>
