Prince William told her, “Catherine and I are not medical experts in any way, but if it is a consolation, we can wholeheartedly support vaccination. It is very, very important.
“We’ve talked to a lot of people about it and the uptake has been amazing so far. We have to keep it that way for the younger generations to also consider it very important that they have it.
So it’s great that Shivali takes the time to sort it out 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 bit prudent.to whom we believe and from whom we obtain our information.
“Especially for those who are also clinically vulnerable, it’s so important that these vaccines are done, so good luck.”
