Britain’s Duchess of Cambridge ‘hugely grateful’ for first coronavirus vaccination
- Britain this week extended its Covid-19 vaccination programme to everyone over the age of 30
- Other members of the royal family have publicised their vaccine appointments to encourage people to get vaccinated
Kate, the 39-year-old wife of Prince William, received her vaccine at London’s Science Museum, a mass vaccination centre near the couple’s home at Kensington Palace, according to a photo posted on their Twitter feed. She got vaccinated a few weeks after her husband.
“I’m hugely grateful to everyone who is playing a part in the roll-out — thank you for everything you are doing,” the duchess said in a tweet posted on Saturday.
Britain this week extended its Covid-19 vaccination programme to everyone over the age of 30. The programme has been gradually expanded to progressively younger age groups since it began in early December, and more than 70 per cent of adults have already received at least one dose.
Other members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles, have publicised their vaccine appointments to encourage people to get vaccinated.
