Vaccination is done for increasing immunity against a particular disease. Don't believe any rumour.. it is completely safe.

Immunity doesn't reduce after vaccination. It's a myth. Just that you can have some discomfort like fever, body pain, weakness, injection site pain. You are not more prone to Covid than usual. It takes a few weeks (4-6) for immunity to develop after 2nd dose of covaxin.

Firstly administration of vaccine will not lessen your immunity....moving to the second part vaccine is not a gurantee against protection from infection u may get reinfected if u do not follow covid appropriate behaviour. ... Coming to the third maximum efficacy is noted after 28 days from 2nd dose

There is nothing like immunity will reduce. You will be fully protected only after taking 2 dose of vaccine.
