The Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg received her first vaccination against the coronavirus.
She is extremely grateful and feels privileged to be able to live in a part of the world where she can already be vaccinated, the young Swede wrote on Tuesday on Twitter and Instagram.
To do this, she put a photo of herself with a plaster on her left upper arm and mouth and nose protection with a fox print.
At the same time, the 18-year-old criticized that the distribution of corona vaccines in the world was extremely unequal.
According to the New York Times, 84 percent of previous vaccine doses were given in high- and upper-middle-income countries, but only 0.3 percent in low-income countries, she wrote.
Nobody is safe until everyone is safe.
“But if you are offered a vaccine, don't hesitate.
It saves lives. "
Thunberg's home country, Sweden, has made about as far progress in vaccination as Germany.
So far, around 77 percent of all adult Swedes have received at least one dose of vaccine, and almost half of adults have received their second.
