Amy Schumer wears her ‘fanciest dress’ to receive her first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination

Amy Schumer looked ready to walk down a red carpet in a gold sequined gown as she received her first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine on Sunday afternoon. 

After getting her jab, the 39-year-old stand-up comedian was spotted by a fan as she sat and waited during a 15-minute observation period, to watch for any rare allergic reactions. 

She also posed for a masked selfie with a fan, named Alex, who thanked the actress for ‘brightening up the room even through uncertainty.’   

Schumer reposted the photo on her Instagram Story and cheekily acknowledged her perplexing wardrobe choice as most stick to comfy clothing for their appointments.  

‘Wore my fanciest dress to get my vaccine,’ the mother-of-one wrote as she could be seen wearing her blonde hair in a ponytail and holding a bottle of water. 

Before her vaccine was administered, her fan shared footage of Schumer saying they could shoot the vaccine in her ‘p**sy’ as others nearby laughed at the raunchy joke.   

Additionally, Schumer thanked health care workers and praised others for getting vaccinated. 

Earlier this month, she brought her two-year-old son Gene to visit with her father Gordon after almost one year of no contact due to the coronavirus and his pre-existing conditions with a Multiple sclerosis diagnosis. 

In a heartwarming photo of the family, Amy cradled her son, who she shares with husband Chris Fischer, in her arms while wearing a white KN95 mask. 

In a May NY Times interview, Amy spoke about how she was faring in the pandemic, revealing how hard it was to be away from her dad, while trying to put everything into perspective.

‘I’m worried about my dad, who is in assisted living where 15 people have died. My mom is alone. It’s upsetting. And my friends who are nurses, a lot of them had it. But my day-to-day is nice. It’s nice to have a baby, because it gives you a routine, and he doesn’t know what’s going on,’ she shared.

Schumer revealed that she missed doing stand-up more than anything, but was optimistic that it would eventually return, while sharing that comedians would have to ‘pivot and evolve’ during this time in order to stay relevant.

She also added that she had no plans of going to a set or venue unless she knew everything was safe.
