Taking to her Instagram stories, Priyanka Chopra shared a photo of herself after getting a booster vaccination shot.

Sharing the photo, she wrote, "Booster shot: Done! Get vaccinated!! (sic)"

What is a COVID booster shot?

A booster show is an additional COVID-19 vaccine dose given a few months after the second dose. It helps in retaining the immunity which starts waning a while after the second shot. However, as per US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only a few people are eligible for the shot and it must be taken after consulting a medical professional. 

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas raised much awareness during the COVID crisis in India. As India struggled with the second wave of COVID-19, the couple began a fundraiser and raised nearly $3.5 million (over Rs 25 crore). Priyanka Chopra even shared how the money was used and thanked everyone for their kind donation.
