Olivia Newton-John has ruled out having the Covid vaccination at this moment in time, despite qualifying for the jab in California.
The 72-year-old actress, who has battled cancer three times, made the admission during an interview with her daughter Chloe Lattanzi.
Speaking with The Herald Sun, the Grease star was asked if she would be having the injection, to which she simply replied: “Not at this point, no.”
It has been reported that her 35-year-old daughter Chloe went on to explain why she doesn’t agree with vaccinations.
“I’m not an anti-vaxxer. I’m anti putting mercury and pesticides in my body, which are in a lot of vaccines,” she said, according to the Independent.

She explained that she no longer trusts doctors, and claimed that she has done her own “research” on vaccinations.
“To me, real medicine is what comes from the earth. I think people trust vaccines because the doctor says it is safe, I used to,” Chloe added.
Chloe runs a medicinal cannabis farm in Oregon with her beau James Driskill and said she wishes she had never been vaccinated for anything.

“If I had a chance to take herbs and plants as a baby rather than have toxins injected into me I would have done that,” she insisted.
It comes after Chloe shared her unscientific views about vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic in a bizarre Instagram rant in January.
In a now-deleted post, Chloe outed herself as an anti-vaxxer and claimed that face masks can cause “health problems”.
“Natural medicine saved my mum’s life,” Chloe told her followers, referring to Olivia’s long-term battle with breast cancer and well-publicised use of medical marijuana.
“So natural medicine is the party I belong to. Not Republican!!! Not Democrat!” she added.
