Actor Gregory gets Covid-19 vaccine in the US

Actor

Gregory

, who is back home in the US, was one of the first Malayalam industry stars to post on Instagram that he has received the

vaccine

. Porinju Mariyam Jose actor Nyla Usha, who is based in Dubai, also posted videos on Instagram of her receiving the jab.

Nazriya Fahadh commented with a “Miss u Greg”. Flaunting a small plaster on his arm, the actor wrote on his account, “Today, I received my first dose of vaccine. Let’s all do our part to save lives, and this vaccine is part of it. Thank you front line workers, scientists/researchers, laborers and all those who have contributed to the collective good of our community.” Gregory was wearing a sticker that said, “I’m a big shot” with

Covid-19

crossed out. He had several hashtags on his post, like “get vaccinated”, “stop the spread and “science rocks”. During the early days of the lockdown in India, Gregory had been shooting Djibouti, directed by SJ Sinu, in the East African country.

While in his new post, he did not specify which vaccine he received, reports from the US say that the country's regulators have given approvals to two vaccines, which have been developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Both the vaccines have to be taken in two doses spaced weeks apart. Apparently, nearly 23 million people have already received one dose of the vaccine in the US.

Nyla Usha had updated her post saying that she had received the Sinopharm vaccine, which is what is being given in the UAE, and that she was feeling fine.
