The Duchess of Cambridge has received her first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine as Britain extends its inoculation programme to younger people, AP reports.

Kate, the 39-year-old wife of Prince William, received her shot at London’s Science Museum, a mass vaccination centre near the couple’s home at Kensington Palace, according to a photo posted on their Twitter feed. She got vaccinated a few weeks after her husband.

“I’m hugely grateful to everyone who is playing a part in the rollout — thank you for everything you are doing,” the duchess said in a tweet.
