After battling Covid earlier this year, businesswoman Michelle Mone celebrated receiving her jab yesterday.
Baroness Mone, 49, shared the image on Twitter and said: 'Slightly late to the party but I'm finally recovered and fit enough for my first vaccine.'
It comes as anyone over 18 will be able to 'grab a jab' this weekend without an appointment at hundreds of walk-in sites at football stadiums, theatres, supermarket car parks and shopping centres.
Experts hope the ease of getting a jab will encourage anyone who has not yet been vaccinated to come forward.
NHS chief Sir Simon Stevens said the country was 'now in a race to the finish line'.
He added: 'It's now easier than ever to get your life-saving jab and the more of us who are vaccinated, the safer and freer we all will be.'

The NHS will publicise the sites locally so people can choose the best location for them, or they can be found at nhs.uk/grab-a-jab.
Latest vaccination figures show London continues to lag behind the rest of England in the proportion of people aged 50 and over who are fully vaccinated, resulting in a summit among health leaders.
An estimated 83.1 per cent of over-50s had received both doses of vaccine by June 20 compared to over 90 per cent in all other regions.
The drop-in centres are open for people having their first dose but can also provide second jabs for the over-40s who had their first at least eight weeks ago, or at least 12 weeks ago for the under-40s.
It comes as data shows just over a third of people aged 18 to 24 have already come forward for vaccines.
