The 80-year-old described it as an “unforgettable day”.
Pele shared the news on his social media pages, along with a photo of him receiving the shot.
“Today is an unforgettable day I received the vaccine!
“The pandemic is not over yet. We must keep discipline to preserve lives until many people have taken the vaccine,” Pele said.
