At the vulnerable age of 93, popular Lebanese actor Salah Tizany was the perfect person to kick off the country s coronavirus inoculation campaign.
Holding his cane with one hand and waving his index with the other, he said on Sunday at the public Rafik Hariri University Hospital that he was proud to be “number one”.
“I am very happy to be the first person to take the vaccine,” he told The National. “I want to encourage people who are scared to take the shot.”
Lebanon rolled out the vaccination drive nearly one year to the day after the country recorded its first Covid-19 case.
