Boston’s own Jonathan Van Tam was the one to give health secretary Matt Hancock his first dose of coronavirus vaccine on Thursday.
Mr Hancock tweeted an image of him and England’s deputy chief medical officer “JVT” at the Science Museum.
In a post on Twitter, he said: “Brilliant! Got the jab. In & out in 8 minutes. Didn’t hurt at all.
“Massive thanks to JVT & the @sciencemuseum team. When you get the call, get the jab!”
During a press conference on Wednesday, the 42-year-old had said he was “delighted” to have received the call-up and that he was “looking forward to it”.
