The Duke of Cambridge has received his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
Prince William took to his official social media channels to share the news and offer his thanks to all those working on the vaccination programme.
Along with a photo of the prince receiving the jab was a message, ”On Tuesday I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. To all those working on the vaccine rollout – thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do.”
William received his jab on May 18th at the Science Museum in London, close to his home at Kensington Palace. The vaccine centre at the museum opened in March 2021.
The Queen received both her doses of the coronavirus vaccine earlier this year and the Duchess of Cornwall has spoken several times about overcoming her fear of needles to get her own jabs against the virus. The Duke of Cambridge, who will be 39 next month, has had to wait until now for his age group to be invited to receive the vaccination.
