On April 23 while talking on his Instagram stories, Singh realized he forgot to tell everyone that he got a dose and then shared his experience.

He said he had some minor symptoms the day after he got the vaccine dose, like chills, soreness and stiffness, but the day after that he was "totally fine."

"As soon as you're eligible, take the first shot possible, whatever it is," Singh said. "The best vaccine is the one you get in your arm."
