A matron from a University Hospital made history by administering the very first vaccine. They have done this under the UK campaign. After 6:30am, May Parsons chose to give Margaret Keenan the jab and this was all done at the University Hospital in Coventry. They have all stated that it is an absolute huge honour to be the very first person in the country to deliver the vaccine to a patient. If you work in homecare or if you have experience in private nursing, then you will know how much work has gone into this programme.

May herself has come out to say that she is honoured to give the jab herself and that she believes that this is a step forward for the entire world. She has stated that she is happy to have played a part in this very historic day. The last couple of months might have been tough for everyone in the NHS but right now they feel as though there is in fact a light at the end of the tunnel.

Ms Keenan who happens to turn 91 next week has said that getting the vaccine is easily the best birthday present that she could have hoped to receive. She has stated that the birthday present is happily received as it means that she may be able to spend time with her family once more. She has come out to say that she cannot thank May and even the NHS staff enough who have looked after her so far and that she is truly over the moon at how far the country has come. Of course, two doses of the vaccine need to be given and they need to be administered 21 days apart, so she will be given another jab soon.
