Martha Stewart, Joan Collins and Sir David Attenborough are among the growing list of list A celebrities who have received the COVID-19 vaccination.
But for advocate of ‘natural’ medicine Olivia Newton-John, 72, getting a jab is not on the agenda.
In an interview with The Herald Sun with her daughter Chloe Lattanzi, 34, on Sunday, the pop icon said she has no plans to be vaccinated against the deadly virus.

“Not right now, no,” said Olivia, who is suffering from stage four breast cancer.
Although the Grease star did not provide any further explanation, Chloe was more than happy to share her bizarre, unscientific vaccine beliefs with the publication.
‘I am not an antivaxxer, I am against putting mercury and pesticides in my body, which are in many vaccines,’ proclaimed Chloe, who runs a medical cannabis farm in Oregon with her boyfriend James Driskill.

She continued: ‘For me, the real remedy is what comes from the earth. I think people trust vaccines because the doctor says it’s safe, I did. ‘
Chloe, who has no medical or scientific qualifications, claimed that she “did research” and now believes that vaccines are not safe.
“If I had a chance to take herbs and plants as a baby, instead of getting toxins injected into me, I would have done it,” she insisted.

Vaccines are vital to reduce the spread of preventable diseases and any suggestion goes against the science and advice of specialist doctors around the world.
This comes after Chloe shared her outrageous, unscientific views on vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic in a bizarre Instagram speech last month.
In a now deleted post, Chloe revealed herself to be an antivaxxer and said the masks can cause ‘health problems’.

‘Natural medicine saved my mother’s life,’ began Chloe, who has no medical training, referring to Olivia’s long battle with breast cancer and the widespread use of medical marijuana.
‘So natural medicine is the party I belong to. He’s not republican !!! He’s not a Democrat! ‘continued Chloe, who runs a cannabis farm in Oregon with her partner, James.
‘What do you do when you don’t fit in a box !? When are you a vegan, cannabis grower, LGBTQ supporting Buddhists who don’t agree with vaccines? Does anyone relate? she added.
Discussing the masks, Chloe clarified that although she wears a mask in public places, she still believes that the masks are ‘causing harm to the smallest and poorest people who are not sick who have to suffocate 9 hours a day’.
She went on to say that people ‘cried for her’ because they ‘can’t breathe and are now in poor health’ after wearing masks.
