Bill Gates' daughter Jennifer, 24, is now one of more than 37 million people vaccinated in the United States.
The medical student announced on Instagram that she had received her first dose.
"I am more than privileged," she wrote on Friday under the post.
Now the mRNA vaccination can teach your cells to trigger a protective immune response to the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus.
As a medical student and prospective doctor, she is grateful for the protection and security.
She asked to do research and consider vaccination if given the option.
And she also turned to conspiracy theorists - with a not very serious hint: "Unfortunately, the vaccine did NOT implant my brilliant father in my brain - if only mRNA had this power .....!"
Disclosure: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) is supporting the SPIEGEL project
Global Society
for three years with a total of around 2.3 million euros.
Reporters from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe report under the title Global Society.
The foundation has no influence on the content.

A thank you, Jennifer Gates, goes to doctors, scientists, public health experts, and pharmacists.
"Our healthcare workers have worked tirelessly to save as many lives as possible, and this vaccine will only improve their ability to succeed." She will also continue to wear her mask until she receives her second dose.
The Gates family has invested more than $ 20 billion in vaccines with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation over the past decade.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a lot of false information about Covid-19 and Bill Gates.
It is rumored that he was trying to use a vaccine to implant microchips in people.
The agitation against Gates is scattered by a wild mix of anti-vaccination opponents, right-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists.
