Page Six reports that the 57-year-old media mogul has received the vaccination. This is after she made public statements to her peer, Dr. Oz about why she didn’t want to get the shot in March.

“No. I don’t trust it,” she said. “I’ve never gotten the flu shot either, though, and you and I have talked about that. Several of the doctors on my team have told me, ‘Wendy, get the flu shot.’ I’ve never had the flu. I’m not getting a flu shot. I very rarely get a cold. I never have headaches. I don’t take aspirin because I feel my heart murmur or something like that. I’m not getting it — no! I don’t trust it. There, I said it.”

Despite not wanting to get poked, she mandated that her audience show proof of vaccination to attend a live taping.
