Queen Elizabeth and husband receive COVID-19 vaccines – palace | ReutersLONDON (Reuters) –

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth and her husband Philip, both in their nineties, have received vaccinations against COVID-19, Buckingham Palace said on Saturday.“The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh have today received COVID-19 vaccinations,” the palace said in a statement. The Queen is 94 years old and Philip is 99, putting them in the priority category in Britain’s coronavirus vaccine rollout. A royal source said the vaccines were administered by a household doctor at the queen’s Windsor Castle residence, adding that she made the news public to counter any speculation. With a highly transmissible new variant of the virus surging across Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has shuttered the economy and is rushing out vaccines in a bid to stem the spread of the pandemic. The government plans to vaccinate the elderly, the vulnerable and frontline workers – around 15 million people – by mid-February, to ease a new strict lockdown imposed after a spike in cases to daily records.Britain has the world’s fifth-highest official death toll from COVID-19 at nearly 80,000, and the 1,325 deaths reported within 28 days of a positive test on Friday surpassed the previous daily record toll from last April.#manchesterunited#manchestercity#HealthForAll#HealthBroadcastingService#tampabaybuccaneers#Covid-19#verizonfios#worldboxingassociation#miamidolphins#ukcoronavirus#HealthBroadcastingServiceInPublicHealthPartnership#lockdown#losangeleslakers#martinlambienairn#denverbroncos#gremiofootballportoalegrense#copalibertadores#washingtonfootball#vaccine#diegomaradona#peterandre#sacramentokings#lasvegasraiders#brooklynnets#saudiarabia#reesewitherspoon#bocajuniors#australianmenscricket#janebirkin#stocks #bitcoinprice#liverpoolfcandcrystalpalacefc#houstontexans#indianationalcricket #losangeleslakers #ghislainemaxwell#proteinexpression #emiliaclarke#losangelesclippers#paulsinha#googleboxhttps://www.reuters.com/…/queen-elizabeth-and-husband…
