By The Duchess of Cambridge has received her first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, following in the footsteps of her husband who was jabbed earlier this month.
A photo of Kate being injected on Friday was posted on the Kensington Palace Twitter account on Saturday afternoon.
In an accompanying message the duchess said: “Yesterday I received my first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine at London’s Science Museum.
“I’m hugely grateful to everyone who is playing a part in the rollout – thank you for everything you are doing.”
More than half of people in their 30s have received a vaccine dose in the last fortnight, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said.
Mr Hancock wrote on Twitter that he was “delighted” the Duchess of Cambridge was one of those to receive a first dose.
The duchess, 39, revealed she had the jab at London’s Science Museum on Friday.
More than 32 million people have been vaccinated with a first dose in England, almost three-quarters of the total adult population, while more than 20 million people have had both doses.
