In my opinion covishield coz most of Indians got injected with covishied n there are not many cases that had any side effects
Next Steps
watch for any side effects
if they do occur ,report immediately to hospital
Health Tips
these complications are called post COVID immunization complications n doctors hav treated most of them.
mostly the patient's get fever who get better with just paracetamol
if it is serious one like muscle weakness then they go for immunoglobulin therapy or plasmapherisis..
everything is under control but reporting in time is crucial

Both covid vaccines are safe to take. Make sure she eats a little before vaccination. Avoid or empty stomach. Monitor temperature frequently. Give paracetamol if needed for fever. Give plenty of fluids orally and rest for 1 -2 days.
