JAKARTA - Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip received their first injection of the coronavirus vaccine on Saturday, January 9 local time, the Washington Post reported.
Buckingham Palace said this in a medical statement apparently aimed at showing royal support for the effort to implement the COVID-19 vaccination.
The 94-year-old queen and her 99-year-old husband received their vaccinations from a royal family doctor at Windsor Castle.
Their age belongs to the high-risk group that has been prioritized for getting a vaccine immediately, since the COVID-19 vaccine was launched in that country. Since its launch, it's been reported that 1.5 million people have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have today received their COVID-19 vaccination."
It is very unusual for the palace to release personal medical details, but a palace spokesman told The Washington Post that "a decision has been taken by His Majesty to notify him to prevent further inaccuracies and speculation."
