Mumbai, July 6 (TIWN) Actress Riney Aryaa, who recently got her first Covid vaccination jab, feels getting the shot is a national duty.

"There are many baseless rumours about the vaccination in our country. We shouldn't pay attention to them and get ourselves vaccinated. It should be counted as a national duty. In fact it will help us to get back our lost freedom from Covid-19 virus," Riney tells IANS.

The actress says that while she is otherwise afraid of needles, she knew that getting vaccinated is important.

"I'm usually scared of injections but I was quite sure to get myself vaccinated. Finally I got my first jab done and it was not that painful. I see a hope of getting the old normal back. I feel everyone of us should move forward and get vaccinated," she says.
