Star Trek: Picard star Patrick Stewart has received the COVID-19 vaccine. Stewart, the 80-year-old actor who returned to his character from Star Trek: The Next Generation for a new series on CBS All Access that debuted in 2020, shared a video in which he gets the vaccine shot into his arm after waiting four hours in line. Stewart is English but lives in the United States. Receiving the vaccine will help protect him from contracting the coronavirus as he begins filming Star Trek: Picard’s second season in February. Stewart made sure to express his appreciation for health care workers and scientists both in the video and in his Tweet sharing it.
How do we say thank you to the health workers and scientists for their sacrifice and service? Receive the vaccine as soon as one can to lessen their load and keep wearing a mask to protect fellow citizens. In my 80th year, I am grateful and hopeful for better days ahead. pic.twitter.com/emGDlnYL2E
