The Queen has urged those who are worried about getting vaccinated against coronavirus to "think about other people rather than themselves".
Speaking on a video call with the four health officials leading the rollout in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the head of state her jab "didn't hurt at all".
The monarch was given her first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine in January, which she said left her with the "important" feeling of being "protected".
She also compared the coronavirus pandemic to a "plague" that had swept across the globe but praised the rollout of jabs in the UK, describing the speed and number of people reached as "remarkable".
During the conversation on Tuesday, the monarch likened the community spirit seen throughout Britain's outbreak to what she experienced during the Second World War.
She also sought to give the four health officials a morale boost, telling them to "keep up the good work".
The Queen took her vaccine on 9 January.
