The Queen has urged people to be selfless and have a Covid-19 vaccination for the sake of the wider community. She said that her jab, administered in January, had been “quite harmless” and gave her a sense of wellbeing because she felt protected. The Duke of Edinburgh was also vaccinated at the same time. During a video call to health leaders, the Queen, 94, said it was “obviously difficult for people if they’ve never had a vaccine” but they “ought to think about other people rather than themselves”. In a tribute to her husband, the Queen was wearing the silver brooch that she wore for her engagement to Prince Philip 74 years ago.
