Covid vaccine: UK woman, 90, becomes first in world to receive Pfizer jab

UK Covid vaccine: rollout begins Tuesday

A 90-year-old woman has become the first patient in the world to receive the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine after its approval in the UK, as the NHS launched its biggest vaccine campaign on Tuesday.

Margaret Keenan received the jab at about 6.45am in Coventry, marking the start of a historic mass vaccination programme.

Vaccines will be administered at 50 hospital hubs around the country, with patients aged 80 and above who are already attending hospital as an outpatient, and those who are being discharged home after a hospital stay, first in line.
