Prince William receives first dose of COVID-19 vaccine

Britain's Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The 38-year-old prince contracted coronavirus last year.

William, the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and second-in-line to the British throne, revealed on Twitter on Thursday morning that he got his first shot earlier this week, along with a picture of the moment. Last week, Britain opened its national vaccination program to anyone over the age of 34. "On Tuesday I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine," the official account for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tweeted.
