Outside of France, vaccines are starting to be injected into vulnerable people and health workers, and the stars are also complying.

The American filmmaker Olivier Stone even preferred to do it as quickly as possible and agreed to receive the Russian vaccine.

While filming in Moscow for a documentary on climate change, the director of

Platoon

 told local Channel One that he was injected with Sputnik V.

“I received a vaccine a few days ago.

I don't know if it will work, but I have heard good things about the Russian vaccine.

I am full of hope.

It's a very good vaccine, I don't understand why it is ignored in the west, ”explained the 74-year-old director.

The Sputnik V vaccine, effective according to its creators at 91.4%, is not recommended for people over 60 years old, on whom it could be dangerous, recalls

The Moscow Times

Euphoric vaccination

For his part, Ian McKellen, a British citizen of 81, was able to receive an injection of the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine, offered to vulnerable people across the Channel for a few days.

The United Kingdom is also the first European country to offer the vaccine.

“It's a very special day.

I am euphoric.

Anyone who has lived a long time knows that they are still alive thanks to vaccinations.

The elders will accept the vaccine 100%, and that's normal, because we don't just take it for ourselves, we take it for all our loved ones.

We are doing our part for society, ”he told the Evening Standard, after receiving his first two doses.

“Obviously, it's painless.

It's convenient, and after having been able to be in contact and meet with members of the health services and after having thanked them for their work, I have no hesitation in recommending the vaccine to everyone, ”concluded the interpreter of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings.

The Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine is 95% effective according to the results of the clinical trial, but is not recommended for people with severe allergies.
