Kiran Mazumdar Shaw's cute "Just Vaccinated" tweet added hope and cheer on Twitter today. The Executive Chairperson of Biocon, in a bid to encourage people to take the COVID-19 vaccine and wipe out fear about it, posted a chirpy pic on the microblogging site, which says "new bumper sticker - Just Vaccinated". Such pictures are normally the hallmark of newly married happy couples driving off for honeymoon with "Just Married" posters stuck on their cars.
