Britain’s Prince William, who contracted Covid-19 last year, revealed on Thursday he had received his first dose of a coronavirus vaccine. William, 38, the grandson of Queen Elizabeth and second-in-line to the British throne, revealed on Twitter he had received the shot earlier this week, alongside a picture of the moment he had the injection at London's Science Museum. "On Tuesday I received my first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine," he said. "To all those working on the vaccine rollout - thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do." William fell ill with the disease last April, at about the same time as his father, heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, although he kept the news secret until November.
