No matter how many times some of us get told that it will just be like a 'pinch', the idea of getting poked by a needle seems like a nightmare. However, we can't let our fears come in the way of our health and our fight against the pandemic that has been making our livelihoods difficult for more than a year now.

In a viral video, a woman named Sukriti Talkwar was seen fighting the same battle while getting vaccinated. In a 45-seconds-long video clip, Talwar was seen first shifting in her chair, asking the nurse to give her one minute to prepare herself, calling for her mother and then apologising for doing so.

Even before the procedure started, Sakshi Talwar had a petrified look on her face. After some hesitation, she finally sat down to have the nurse inject the needle and it made calls for her "Mummy" while her friend literally shut her mouth. Since her moving around was not helping the nurse, Sakshi Talwar got scolded a bit. The nurse even threatened to stop the procedure entirely but Talwar gathered herself and asked, " Mummy bol du" ( Can I say Mummy?). Even though the nurse didn't reply, the procedure was over in the next few seconds with Talwar vocalising the pain in her arms. The Nurse assured, "itna dard to hoga hi" ( this much pain is normal).

The video has so far garnered more than three million views and has been shared by many people on social media. Many could relate to the woman and for others, the video gave a nice 45-seconds comic relief.

The government in April announced that all adults above the age of 18 years can get vaccinated after May 1. While some states have started giving vaccines to people above 18 and below 45, others have announced that they do not have enough vaccines to ahead with the third phase.
