Michael Eavis
MICHAEL Eavis has called on the public to get vaccinated against coronavirus so they can celebrate “Glastonbury style”, after receiving the jab himself on New Year’s Eve.
The 85-year-old festival founder got his vaccination at a GP-led community vaccination site at Mendip District Council offices in Shepton Mallet, close to where the festival takes place, in Pilton.
Mr Eavis, who is also a dairy farmer, said the festival, which was cancelled this year due to Covid-19, might return in 2021 if enough of the population was vaccinated.
He said: “It is amazing to be in one of the first groups of people to have the Covid-19 vaccine in Somerset. It is great that everyone across the country will be offered the vaccine in due course.
