Dr Alex George admitted he ‘felt quite emotional’ after he received the Covid vaccine on Wednesday.
The Love Island star, 30, who has been working on the frontline since the start of the pandemic, gave the thumbs up after being vaccinated at University Hospital Lewisham.
Taking to Instagram to share the milestone, Dr Alex said NHS workers have all ‘been hoping ‘a vaccine ever since this virus appeared’ and receiving it gave him ‘hope’.
Sharing a photo in medical overalls with his sleeve rolled up, Dr Alex said: ‘I HAVE HAD THE VACCINE!! We have all been hoping for a vaccine ever since this virus appeared.
‘Felt quite emotional having the jab, it has been a hard year! I am so glad there is light at the end of the tunnel.
‘Huge thanks to Chris, one of the hospital pharmacists, for giving me the injection and to everyone working so hard to roll this out.
‘It was a quick jab then back to work for me! Full disclosure I was given a star sticker for having the vaccine and being a good boy Onwards.’
Dr Alex also joked: ‘Was sad I didn’t get a lollipop like when we were kids though.’
