A man in Madhya Pradesh’s Betul got himself and his entire family vaccinated against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) after being encouraged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rajesh Hirave, from Dulariya village in Betul district, was one of the people the Prime Minister spoke to during his Mann Ki Baat address and urged to shun vaccine hesitancy.
The chat between PM Modi and Hirave was pre-recorded and aired on Sunday as part of Mann Ki Baat programme.
Forty-three-year-old Hirave told PM Modi that dangerous information is being spread about the vaccines being administered in the country. Hirave said he has received messages on WhatsApp claiming that people are dying after being vaccinated. But the Prime Minister said this information is false. PM Modi gave his own example and urged Hirave to take a shot of the vaccine which he said is the only way to stop the infection from spreading.
“After talking to the prime minister on Friday, I along with my family members got the vaccine shot for prevention from the coronavirus infection on Saturday,” Hirave told news agency PTI.
