Hamish Blake is the latest Aussie celebrity to get the Covid vaccine, encouraging hesitant Australian’s to put their trust in doctors.

Showing his sleeve rolled up in one photo with the nurse injecting him in the next, the Lego Masters host was clear in his post that he is grateful to be getting the jab.

“Jabba Dabba Done. Tried to get my vaccine right through the Olympic Rings, but understand correct needle placement overruled symbolic photo op,” he began.

“To be honest, I feel immensely grateful to live in an age where super smart people are able to do incredible things like make a vaccine for something that has ground the world to a halt.

“Just as I do any time science solves something that could have easily killed you 100 years ago (or any time I use a phone, drive a car, have water come out of a tap, have a roof not fall on me etc, you know, #science).

Injecting his typical humour, Hamish cut through the lengthy post by commenting on his “amazing” tattoos.

“Now, I know I’m going to get heaps of comments like ‘Oh my god! Your tatts are amazing! Where did you get them!?’ which is super flattering, thank you, but it’s not why I’m posting this.”

The comedian went on to plead with the public to get their vaccine, hoping that his post would encourage hesitant Australian’s to put their faith in science and medicine.

“What I really hope is that by posting this, it lands in front of the eyes of someone who is quietly unsure about getting vaccinated. And if that’s you sweet reader, my request is this: don’t take medical advice from me. I didn’t go to medical school, I’m not a doctor. But you know who is a doctor? Your doctor. Talk to them. And only them.

“Have a discussion with someone who has studied medical science for years and years and years about this, then see how you feel about participating in this effort. That’s all. Good on you.

“Gotta say hats off to the staff of NSW Health, watching the massive effort being run and thousands of people out at Homebush fills you with hope. Thanks to everyone who’s working so hard at the front line.

“Go Australia,” he concluded.
