Brigitte Nielsen shared an incredible update on her health on Wednesday before urging her fans to follow in her footsteps.

The 57-year-old posted a photo on Instagram of herself with a COVID-19 vaccination sticker on her finger as she revealed she has had her jab, although it is not clear if it is her first or second dose.

Brigitte lives in Los Angeles with her husband Mattia Dessi and their two-year-old daughter Frida. As well as Frida, Brigitte is also mom to four sons, two of whom are currently living in Italy.

The star opened up about how she's been coping during the pandemic without being able to see them in an interview on The Talk in 2020 and revealed that she speaks to them every day.

She said: "My sons are doing amazingly well… I'm very proud of them. I speak to them every day, there's Skype, I don't know what I would have done without it."

Brigitte also voiced her concerns for her children, who are in Milan, during the interview, which took place last March at the beginning of the pandemic.

She said: "It's hard for me as a mom to be on the other side of the planet. I said, 'You cannot come over for Easter.' Now they definitely cannot come over because of the entire lockdown."
