Amitabh Bachchan has received the coronavirus vaccine, he confirmed in a tweet late night on Thursday. "Got it done! My Covid vaccination this afternoon," tweeted Mr Bachchan. Sharing a health update of sorts, he added: "All well." Last month, Mr Bachchan hinted that he was to get the vaccine sometime soon. Here's what he had written in one of his blog posts: "The vaccination has become mandatory and soon there shall be the conditioning for yours truly to be one such in queue." Big B had contracted the virus last year and was admitted to Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital.
