Abstract
Vaccine hesitancy, anti-Vax campaigners and misinformation hound the administration of vaccines. Our study, conducted at Malwa region of the Punjab, India, was systematically carried out to look for adverse neurological effects after COVID-19 vaccination, given to 1000 people (>18 years and <60 years) who had received either single or multiple doses. No major neurological complications were found; the only side-effect was a transitory headache in 15% of the participants.
