Microsoft billionaire co-founder Bill Gates took to social media to reveal that he received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Like many other important individuals who received the vaccine, Gates is using his experience to urge the rest of the population to get vaccinated when it is most readily available.
“One of the benefits of being 65 is that I am eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. I received my first dose this week and I feel great,” wrote Gates on Friday. “Thank you to all the scientists, test participants, regulators and frontline healthcare professionals who got us to this point.”
Earlier this week, Gates tweeted, “With Americans across the country working together, more people get a COVID-19 vaccine every day, bringing us closer to a time when life will seem a lot more normal. Until then, we can delay the spread of the virus and save lives by continuing to distance and wear masks. ”
