Royal Family News: Queen Elizabeth To Get COVID Vaccine In Weeks?

British royal family news divulges that United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth is expected to be given the Covid-19 vaccine within weeks and following the shot she will tell the world about it so as to encourage people it is safe and to take it.

According to senior sources the 94-year-old Monarch and her husband Prince Philip, 99, will not get favored treatment but will wait in line for the first wave of injections that are meant for the over-80 group and care home residents.

It is expected that both will take the injection on the advice of their doctors and public health experts believe that if the couple tell the public they got it, this would combat misinformation being spread by conspiracy theorists.

This misinformation is feared to result in a large segment of the population refusing to take the vaccine. It is reported that additionally talks are ongoing as to the roles that Prince Charles and Prince William could play in aiding the vaccination program.

Nonetheless, some aides are not wanting to politicize the family and invade their medical privacy. But if she speaks out it won’t be the first time that the queen has endorsed a vaccine.

In 1957, she announced that her children Prince Charles and Princess Anne had received polio shots to counter fears about the vaccine. It is thought that in a similar way she could once again assure the public about the latest mass inoculation.

It is thought that Sir David Attenborough and Dame Judi Dench could also be used as public ambassadors for the vaccine.

To avoid favoritism, senior members of the Royal Family will be offered the vaccine along with others in their age groups which means that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are unlikely to be vaccinated until 2021 when those in their 30s are asked to line up for shots.

Last night the couple were reported to be, “keen to support everyone who has been involved.” William visited the Oxford University research laboratory in June and just recently it was reported that he contracted the virus this spring.

On Tuesday Operation Courageous, the nation’s biggest ever mass vaccination event, will go into action. The majority of 50 hospitals given the vaccine will then give injections and doctors have been told they will receive doses in the week beginning December 14.
