Prince William told her: “Catherine and I are not medical experts by any means, but if it is a consolation, we can wholeheartedly support vaccinations. It is very, very important.
“I’ve talked to a lot of people about it and the absorption has been amazing so far. We must continue it so that the younger generations feel that it is very important for them to have it.
So it’s great that Shivali is taking the time to solve the problem and comes to the conclusion that ‘I have to do this’, because social media is sometimes flooded with a lot of rumors and misinformation, so we have to be a little careful who we think and where we get our information.
Especially for those who are clinically vulnerable, it is so important that these vaccinations be done, so good luck.
The royal family supported the NHS in the implementation of the coronavirus vaccine, visited vaccination centers and thanked staff and volunteers for their efforts.
