A few hours ago, Queen Elizabeth II made a historical comment on the vaccination rollout against COVID-19 in the UK.
The queen's comment came in a video call with NHS. She encouraged everyone who has doubts, saying: "Think about other people rather than themselves."
She added that receiving the vaccine "didn't hurt at all," in addition, she feels "protected," that's why the monarch urged everyone to have the vaccine.
"Once you've had the vaccine you have a feeling of, you know, you're protected, which is I think very important. And I think the other thing is that it is obviously difficult for people if they've never had a vaccine ... but they ought to think about other people rather than themselves."
