The nurse who was able to administer the very first vaccine in the UK have stated that it’s unbelievable what everyone has been able to achieve in this month alone. She was able to deliver the first vaccine in December when she was able to deliver the vaccine to Maggie Keenan. The pair have since been reunited and they have joined NHS England and Simon Stevens in their own video call. Those who work in homecare or even in private nursing have stated that they are excited about the vaccination program and that they are proud of the progress that they have made so far. Ms Parsons, who has worked for the NHS for over 20 years has stated that they feel like the dawn is finally coming. Everyone believes that it is unreal how they have been able to roll out the vaccine so quickly and the progress they have made is truly unbelievable.
Government data has ultimately shown that since April, the vaccination program has been able to reach over 33 million people and that 10.7 million people have had both of their doses. 9 groups that are in the first priority section have now been offered a single jab and now adults that are the age of 45 or over are being invited to come forward as well. This is being done as phase two of the program. May Parsons administered the first one and she has stated that it looks like we are coming out of the pandemic stronger than ever. They have also paid tribute to the social workers and the healthcare workers across the UK, as they believe that their help has been essential in helping everyone to tackle Covid.
