These Celebrities Received the Coronavirus Vaccine Already
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip
It has been confirmed that Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, have been administered their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the news and while such a “private medical matter” wouldn’t be shared with the public, the news was revealed to prevent further speculation.
Elizabeth, 94, and Philip, 99, are both in the high risk category because of their ages. In the UK, people who are 80 and over are in the first group of people who will receive the vaccine.
A source told the BBC that the vaccines were administered on Saturday (January 9) at Windsor Castle. It is not known which vaccine they received.
As recently as Thursday Buckingham Palace were firmly saying that they had no plans to confirm whether HMQ had been vaccinated as it was a ‘private medical matter’.
But the speculation, of course, continued.
It was the Queen’s personal decision to make the news public.— Rebecca English (@RE_DailyMail) January 9, 2021
