Covid-19 vaccine: First person to get Pfizer jab in UK gets 'booster shot'

London - Margaret Keenan, 91, said she felt 'privileged' to be given the vaccine

The first person in the UK, and perhaps one of the oldest person in the world to receive the Pfizer Covid-19 jab, has now been administered the follow-up vaccine at University Hospital in Coventry.

Briton Margaret Keenan, 91, was given the ‘booster jab' three weeks after she received her first jab on December 8.

Hospital chief executive Andy Hardy said: “We were delighted to welcome Margaret Keenan back to Coventry’s University Hospital today to safely receive the second dose of the vaccination after she became the first person in the world to receive the Pfizer Covid-19 (vaccine) following its clinical approval.”

Two doses of the vaccine is required to be taken for it to be fully effective.
