William gets first vaccine dose and thanks health workers for ‘everything you’ve done’

Prince William has received his first dose of a coronavirus vaccine, and thanked those involved in the UK’s rollout “for everything you’ve done and continue to do”.

The Duke of Cambridge shared an image on Twitter this morning of the moment he received the jab yesterday.

William, who is 38 and the second in-line to the throne, has received his first dose after the UK-wide vaccine rollout was expanded to people in their 30s last week.

It is not clear whether his wife the Duchess of Cambridge, who is 39, has received her first vaccine dose yet.
