The 81-year-old acting icon is part of the first eligible group to receive the vaccination against Covid-19 that was recently rolled out to over 80s in the UK, and on Wednesday (Dec 16), he headed to the Arts Research Centre at Queen Mary University Hospital to get his jab.
In a statement, Ian said: It s a very special day, I feel euphoric. Anyone who has lived as long as I have is alive because they have had previous vaccinations, the take up amongst the older generation will be 100 per cent - it ought to be - because you re having it not just for yourself but for people who you are close to - you re doing your bit for society.
Sir Ian McKellen became the newest star to get vaccinated for COVID-19, announcing in a tweet Thursday he felt very lucky to have had the vaccine and recommended others do the same.
The 81-year-old stage and screen actor was given the first of two Pfizer vaccine doses Wednesday at the Queen Mary s University Hospital in London, per the BBC and an ITV story that McKellen retweeted. In a video clip, he received the shot, then threw up his arms and gave the nurse an elbow bump. It is invasive of course, it looks like a weapon – a needle – but it isn t, it s a friend, he told reporters afterward. I would encourage everybody to do the sensible thing, not just for themselves but for everybody else because if you re virus-free that helps everybody else, doesn t it?
