The 94-year-old monarch was vaccinated along with her husband Prince Philip in January.
Sanjhi Soch buero :Queen Elizabeth II said on Thursday that her coronavirus jab “didn’t hurt at all” and urged those wary of receiving the vaccine to “think about other people”.
The 94-year-old monarch was vaccinated along with her husband Prince Philip in January, telling health officials leading the rollout in a video call that she now felt “protected”.
“It was very quick, and I’ve had lots of letters from people who have been very surprised by how easy it was to get the vaccine. And the jab –- it didn’t hurt at all,” she said.
Once you’ve had the vaccine you have a feeling of, you know, you’re protected, which is I think very important. “It is obviously difficult for people if they’ve never had a vaccine… but they ought to think about other people rather than themselves.”
More than 18 million people across Britain have now been jabbed as part of the vaccination drive that is seen as crucial in tackling one of the world’s worst outbreaks, which has claimed more than 122,000 lives.
The Queen called the disease a “plague” and praised the “remarkable” speed of the vaccination programme rollout.
Her eldest son and heir, Prince Charles, 72, who contracted a mild dose of Covid-19 last year, has also received his jab, as has his second wife, Camilla, 73.
