PM Trudeau receives second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine

Share On

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has received his second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

The prime minister got a shot of Moderna this morning, following his first dose of Oxford-AstraZeneca earlier this year.

He received his vaccine at a Rexall pharmacy in Ottawa where he told the pharmacist he was ``very excited'' to get his second dose.

Trudeau told her he had a tough night of slight chills and fevers after his first dose, and she warned it would be a little worse this time.

He said he knows, because his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau got her second dose yesterday and had a rough sleep.

The pharmacist injected the vaccine into his arm with his Indigenous tattoo and he thanked her and said, ``It's that easy.''
