UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has received the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine against coronavirus. Taking to Twitter on Friday evening, Johnson said: "I've just received my first Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine dose.//
"Thank you to all of the incredible scientists, NHS (National Health Service) staff and volunteers who helped make this happen.
"Getting the jab is the best thing we can do to get back to the lives we miss so much. Let's get the jab done."
He also attached a photo of him getting the shot.
Johnson, 56, is trying to reassure the public that the AstraZeneca jab is safe after a number of countries in Europe and around the world suspended the use of it earlier this week due to blood clot fears, dpa news agency reported.
That prompted countries such as France and Germany to resume administering the jab.
