Her Highness Princess Basma bint Talal received the coronavirus vaccine Saturday.

“According to what the national campaign has determined, the priority for taking the corona vaccine is for those over the age of sixty, and in this particular case, I feel happy that my age is close to the age of seventy!,” said her office in a social media post. 

The post added, "I thank our wonderful nursing staff for their high professionalism in giving vaccines to those who need them, and God protect our beloved Jordanian family."

Jordan started its nationwide vaccine campaign Wednesday, giving priority to elderly people and frontline medical workers.
