Bollywood star Salman Khan became the latest celeb to get a jab of the coronavirus vaccination. Taking to Twitter, the 55-year-old actor shared, "Took my first dose of vaccine today...."The actor was captured by the paps at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on Wednesday, waiting for his turn. While there were a few security personnel, no one else from his family was spotted alongside. Wearing a grey t-shirt and black denims, Salman Khan sported a black mask following the Covid-19 protocols.
On Tuesday, Salman Khan's good friend Sanjay Dutt also received the coronavirus vaccination in Mumbai. Thanking the medical staff, Dutt had tweeted a photo of himself getting the vaccine. He wrote, "Received my first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine today at the BKC vaccine center. I want to congratulate Dr. Dhere and his entire team for doing such a wonderful job!

Earlier, only people above 60 years and 45+ with co-morbidities were allowed to register for the vaccine.
