The 72-year-old star - who is battling breast cancer for a third time - has told how she has no plans to have the jab "at this point", but didn't elaborate on her reasons.

When asked if she will take the vaccine in an interview alongside her daughter Chloe Lattanzi, Olivia told The Herald Sun newspaper: "Not at this point, no."

Chloe - who runs a medicinal cannabis farm - has admitted she is "anti putting mercury and pesticides", but insisted she is "not an anti-vaxxer".

The 35-year-old actress said: "I'm anti putting mercury and pesticides in my body, which are in a lot of vaccines.

"If I had a chance to take herbs and plants rather than have toxins injected into me, I would have done that."

Olivia previously revealed her husband John Easterling, 58, grows cannabis at their home and she is an advocate for the medicinal properties of the drug for cancer sufferers.

Speaking last year, she said: "I weaned myself off morphine with cannabis after I left the hospital last, two years ago.

"And that's a huge feat as morphine is a very addictive drug. I'm doing fantastic.

"I just want to help people live better with cancer. I'm living well with it. I think that that's an important message.

"I'm human. I have had moments of fear, and all those things, just like everybody. But I talk myself round. There's no way around pain. You have to go through it, but you'll come out the other side if you believe strongly enough that it is just temporary.

"I've been dealing with this for a very long time, so I know how important the mind is in your journey. I really believe in that, in positive thinking, and reinforcing, talking to my body, and thanking it. It's all up to that."
