Any vaccine amongst the available ones can be taken with minimal risk. All the available vaccines have similar efficacy and a side effect profile and provide almost the same amount of protection. Any vaccine does not fully prevent infection by the COVID-19 virus. However it drastically reduces the chances of severe life threatening consequences and death due to COVID-19.
Next Steps
Take any available vaccine nearest to you keeping the vaccination schedule in mind.

Covaxin is better because it's inactivated one .. I would prefer that you go ahead with Covaxin.. I have seen post vaccination effects in persons taking Covishield

Go with covishield. Although every vaccine is fine.
