  In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a global
pandemic as it spread to nearly every country. By mid-2021, India had
introduced three vaccines: Covishield, Covaxin, and Sputnik. To ensure
successful vaccination in a densely populated country like India, understanding
public sentiment was crucial. Social media, particularly Reddit with over 430
million users, played a vital role in disseminating information. This study
employs data mining techniques to analyze Reddit data and gauge Indian
sentiments towards COVID-19 vaccines. Using Python's Text Blob library,
comments are annotated to assess general sentiments. Results show that most
Reddit users in India expressed neutrality about vaccination, posing a
challenge for the Indian government's efforts to vaccinate a significant
portion of the population.
