Elizabeth Hurley is seeing multiple users tell her she's been "unfollowed" in the wake of a major health update. The 55-year-old model and "Austin Powers" actress today proved all smiles in a snazzy and '80s-inspired sweatsuit, posting for her 2 million Instagram followers and proudly announcing she's received her second COVID vaccine. The swimwear designer's Thursday post showed her after the jab as she thanked the National Health Service in her U.K. country, but fans are lashing out amid the AstraZeneca trial controversy. See why below.

Scroll for the photo. Hurley updated from her Herefordshire, U.K. mansion, where she's been hunkered down with eight others, including vulnerable individuals. The blue-eyed beauty made headlines earlier in COVID for saying she was too afraid to grab essentials for fear of infecting those with her.
Today's photo showed Liz amid fine furnishings and in a studded stair as she wowed fans in a plunging and glittery silver top, as usual defying her age and holding up her post-vaccine badge from a window setting.

The U.K's free NHS healthcare service, last year applauded by the entire country in a weekly 8 p.m. clap, got shouted out as Liz told fans: "Thank you to the NHS for my second Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine. I am very grateful. Thank you to all the courageous NHS workers who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe."
Confirming her older family members have been double vaccinated, Liz added: " All my younger family members will be registering as soon as their age groups open up."
Hurley closed: "I am so looking forward to downloading proof of my vaccines from the NHS app." The AstraZeneca vaccine, last month seeing Europeans, by the masses, lose faith amid links to blood clots, is getting big-time mentioned as Liz, sadly, gets slammed in the process.
"They stopped allowing people to have that poison here," one fan replied. "Unfollowed" was even more blunt, with a third user writing: "Another souled out celeb to delete." "Another one brainwashed," a further fan stated. More below.
Amid the multiple complaints, and, it would seem, multiple users saying "unfollowed," Liz was backed. The Elizabeth Hurley Beach founder was told: "Thanks for the info Liz. I wasn't aware that you can download the certificates. ❤️"
Others sat on the fence. "Great picture. ?? The Astra zeneca was removed from the program in Denmark," one fan wrote.
Hurley now joins the long list of celebrities sharing their COVID vaccines, from 39-year-old pop princess Britney Spears to "Modern Family" alum Ariel Winter. If you missed Liz's 47 jars of home-made pandemic marmalade, just scroll.
