Bella removed the sleeve of her grey sweatshirt and wore a face mask as she waited for the jab in a doctor’s office.
‘For anyone concerned,’ she wrote across an image that appeared to be from August 6, last month, as vaccinations weren’t available last summer.
Fans questioned if Bella was one of the many celebrities who missed out on the event due to a vaccine mandate where all guests were required to prove their vaccination status.
Just days before, Bella was on hand to launch her new wellness beverage brand, Kin Euphorics, where she danced the night away with Halsey, Helena Christensen, Kid Cudi and her mom Yolanda.

Interesting intel: Bella’s younger brother, Anwar, took to Instagram in December to share a few of his views against vaccinations as the coronavirus pandemic continues to take lives nearly two years after it was first documented
It’s no surprise that Bella’s vaccination status was questioned after her younger brother, Anwar, admitted last year that he refused to take the shot.
During a quick question and answer session on social media in December, a follower asked: ‘Will u take the vaccine?’
‘Absolutely not,’ Anwar responded while showing a picture of a wooden floor and the top of his shoe.
His response prompted another follower to ask: ‘Why are you anti vax’ with the added shock of a crying emoji.

Wild world: It was back to work for Bella though as she shared a few horse-riding snaps from a photo shoot in the countryside
‘Either I just don’t get it or I get it and go willing heal from it and get antibodies rather than do that process unaturally, our bodies are made by the creator to do way more than we think,’ he wrote.
Anwar was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, shortly after his mother and sister, Bella, contracted the disease.
COVID-19 indications can appear completely asymptomatic or long-haul, flu-like symptoms, similar to symptoms described by people with Lyme disease.
He later clarified: ‘I’m not “anti-vax.” I think everyone has to be careful with each vaccine individually looking at positive and possible negative effects.’
