The Lord of the Rings and the X-Men franchises received his jab this morning at Queen Mary’s University Hospital in London.“Anyone who has lived as long as I have is alive because they have had previous vaccinations,” he said, reports the BBC.“It’s a very special day, I feel euphoric!“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?”I feel very lucky to have had the vaccine.
I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. https://t.co/gBLRR0OeJc— Ian McKellen (@IanMcKellen) December 17, 2020The UK was the first country in the world to approve the use of the vaccine.
