Ever since the beginning of the second phase of COVID-19 vaccination, a lot of politicians as well as celebrities have been taking the first dose of the vaccine.

Sailing in the same boat is Bollywood filmmaker Rakesh Roshan who took to his social media handle on Thursday and informed everyone that he has taken the first dose. 

He took to twitter and wrote, " First dose of Covishield taken, go ahead."

Not just him, but also his wife and actor Hrithik Roshan's mother Pinkie Roshan took to her unverified Instagram profile and shared, "Covieshield vaccine take, it's better to shield than to expose."

Earlier, actor and MNM President Kamal Haasan received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on the second day of the nationwide inoculation drive of persons above 60 years at Chennai.

The government had announced last week that everyone above 60 years of age and those over 45 years with comorbidities will be able to get the COVID-19 vaccine from March 1 for free at government facilities and for a charge at many private hospitals.
