The actress, 57, has praised the health service for everything they do after she underwent the first of her two COVID-19 jabs on Tuesday.
Sally, who has played Sally Metcalfe on the ITV soap since 1986, took to Twitter to share with fans: ‘Thank you so much to our NHS. Had my vaccine and I’m so grateful. Thank you for everything you do (sic)’.
A number of stars under the age of 65 – the current group being prioritised – have been called early to receive the vaccine and have taken to social media to detail the experience, including Nigella Lawson, 61, and Jo Whiley, 55.
Happy times: Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor revealed she has received the coronavirus vaccine and voiced her gratitude to NHS staff for their hard work
A tweet on the Altrincham Healthcare Alliance Primary Care Network account revealed Sally and former England captain Bryan Robson were among more than 800 people receiving their coronavirus vaccines in the north west.
The message read: ‘@sallydynevor, one of 800+ receiving the COVID vaccine today, said ‘it’s the best day I’ve had for ages… a huge thank you to everyone.’
Sally’s Corrie co-star Jimmi Harkishin (Dev Alahan) recently urged all communities in the UK to have the coronavirus vaccine, after some conspiracy theorists wrongly claimed the vaccine contains meat and alcohol, which are banned in some religions.
He said: ‘We are all living in such difficult times but COVID-19 has been affecting the Asian communities disproportionately.
Sigh of relief: A number of stars under the age of 65 – the current group being prioritised – have been called early to receive the vaccine and have taken to social media to detail the experience, including Ruth Langsford (pictured)
‘Whatever the reasons for that, whether they are social or medical, it is very important for us to firstly follow the guidelines and secondly embrace the vaccination programme.
‘I know there has been an awful lot of misinformation, rumour and speculation about the vaccine but I can’t stress how important the vaccine is in the battle against COVID.
‘For the sake of yourself and your families, when you get contacted please please go for the vaccination.’
Last week, Ruth Langsford revealed she received the Covid-19 vaccine in Surrey. The TV presenter, 60, admitted she felt ‘so grateful’ to have the Oxford /AstraZeneca jab as she shared a photo of the experience on social media.
The vaccine is prioritised for citizens over the age of 65, but the Loose Women panellist revealed she was called early after receiving a message from the NHS.
