The actress noted that the doctor stated that it was impossible to contract the virus after receiving the "Pfizer" vaccine.

The novel coronavirus infected over 127,619 million people and killed 2,791 others worldwide since it emerged in China in 2019. About 520,540,106 vaccine doses have been administered.

On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 800,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.

They can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.

It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.
