In her Instagram post, Kris revealed that she was advised by her doctor to take the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

She posted, “@attygideon & i have both gotten our first doses of our vaccine. My doctors chose AstraZeneca as my safest option.”

Although she already got her first dose, Kris has been taking all the extra precautions, including wearing a mask, especially if she's meeting someone indoors.

“But we are still masked and we're all taking the necessary precautions (new cases reported today are still 5,177)… thank you for the visit & the food vice gov @markleviste, although i believe you should get your vaccine soonest because you're not just protecting yourself, you must get your vaccine for the safety of your constituents, friends, family, and loved ones.”
