Sir Patrick Stewart receives Covid vaccine and says four hour wait was ‘well worth it’

SIR Patrick Stewart was left waiting for four hours to receive a coronavirus vaccine – but insisted it was “well worth it”.

The Star Trek actor, 80, got his jab at the LA Dodgers baseball team’s Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday, the same place where Arnold Schwarzenegger received his vaccine just a few days earlier.
