'Don't Postpone, Get Vaccinated Today', says Sonu Sood as he takes covid-19 vaccine shot

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood was administered the first dose of a coronavirus vaccine at a hospital in Amritsar, Punjab. The actor has launched a pan-India initiative called, Sanjeevani: A Shot at Life which aims to encourage people to get inoculated against the vaccine and raise awareness about the importance of participating in the nationwide inoculation drive.

Speaking about the same, Sonu Sood said: "I wanted to start this drive because I feel it is very important to bring that awareness among people who are still thinking whether they should get vaccinated or not. Family members should push their elder ones, people who are eligible to get vaccinated. It will only help them survive the times we are facing in the near future."

"We are doing this in many districts and a lot of villages in Punjab and different states. The awareness is not much and they still have double thoughts whether they should get vaccinated or not. That's why I wanted to get vaccinated in front of everyone and send the message across that don't think twice. We will get a lot of camps done. This is a movement that we are trying to start to increase awareness," he added.

Taking to the Twitter, actor wrote, "Got my vaccine today and now it's time to get whole of my country vaccinated. Started the biggest vaccination drive "Sanjeevani" which will bring awareness and get our people vaccinated."

Meanwhile, on the work front, the actor will soon be seen in the Telugu film "Acharya" and the Hindi film "Prithviraj."
