All of the Aussie celebrities who have received the coronavirus vaccine so far

With Sydney's Covid outbreak spiralling out of control, a growing number of high-profile Aussies have gotten the jab.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Covid-19 vaccines are effective in preventing people from getting and spreading the virus, and people are less likely to become seriously ill if they do contract the virus. 

From comedian Andy Lee to Today host Karl Stefanovic, here's the growing list of celebrities who have rolled up their sleeves so far.

Andy Lee

The 40-year-old comedian received his first Covid jab earlier this month, sharing a photo to Instagram of the tell-tale Band-Aid on his arm.

'Got AZ. Spoke to my doctor beforehand and it was his recommendation. I know this approach is not for everyone so seek your own advice and take whatever path you feel is right for you,' he wrote.

He added: 'Disappointed not to get a lollipop at the end (only negative).'  

Lisa Wilkinson

The 61-year-old Project panelist revealed she'd received her first Covid vaccine late last month.

'First AZ shot done and literally didn't feel a thing… So glad to finally have the first one out of the way,' she wrote at the time.  

She added: 'I have to admit, I was a tiny bit nervous, so I bought one of those tubs of Magnum ice-cream (that well-known medical cure-all) this afternoon just in case I was feeling bad tonight. I feel great. I ate the ice-cream anyway…' 

Peter FitzSimons

Meanwhile, Lisa's husband of 29 years has been a vocal advocate for getting the Covid vaccine.

In a post on Instagram last month, Lisa revealed the 60-year-old former rugby union player-turned-author was fully vaccinated. 

'Hubby and I went together, and he got his SECOND shot at the same time,' she said.

Waleed Aly and Susan Carland

The 42-year-old Project panelist and his wife of 19 years, Susan, spoke about getting the Covid jab in a video for UNICEF.

After getting the vaccine, Waleed joked that he felt 'heroic' and was 'so brave' while getting his shot.

'Guys, we didn't cry once,' added Susan, 41.  

Peter Helliar

The 46-year-old comedian received his first vaccine in Melbourne last month, sharing a series of photos from the vaccination hub on Instagram.

'First jab. Thank you to all the staff who are running an incredibly smooth operation at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne,' he wrote. 

'If you are eligible get vaccinated to help protect our state and country against this hideous virus.' 

Brooke Boney

The Today show entertainment reporter, 34, revealed she'd received the AstraZeneca vaccine last week.

'Easy AZ. Speak to your GP,' she urged her followers. 

She added: 'Get it done if you can so we don't have to keep locking down, people stop getting hospitalised and businesses stop suffering.' 

Example

In a series of posts on Instagram Stories last week, the 39-year-old British rapper - who resides in Brisbane - lashed out at anti-vaxxers after getting his first jab.

'Gonna switch off. Not going to switch off, I'm not going to look at my DMs for a few days, because there's bound to be some anti-vaxxers in there,' he explained. 

'"Oh, you can't do that! You can't put all that in ya!" The good thing is, you aren't getting the vaccine, so there's a higher chance of you dying, and then there'll be more supplies left for the rest of us. And by supplies, I mean, you know, Wagyu steak. "Ooh, we can't eat beef!"' 

Arj Barker

During an interview on the Today show earlier this month, the 46-year-old American comedian revealed he got vaccinated during a recent trip to Byron Bay.

'Well, obviously the basics are getting vaccinated if and when you can. It hasn't been the quickest thing in this country but I did get my vaccine,' he said.

'I went to Byron Bay and got it there because I knew there wouldn't be a long wait at the clinic. I was the only one there,' he joked.

Sonia Kruger

The 55-year-old Big Brother host visited Sydney's Olympic Park vaccination centre late last month to get her Covid vaccine.

Sonia shared a series of posts on Instagram Stories documenting her experience. 

She shared a brochure, which read: 'I've had my COVID-19 vaccination', but did not reveal which type of vaccination she had been given.  

Pia Miller

The former Home and Away actress, 37, revealed late last month that she was fully vaccinated.

'Full vax. A while ago now. Feel free to ask questions. But spare me the judgement! Because it is well with my soul. Thank you,' she wrote.

She added: 'To answer your questions. I got the Pfizer vaccine. I was able to get my first dose in LA and my second at RPA (Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney).' 

Tom Gleeson

The controversial comedian, 47, last month complained about not being
