Richard and Linda Poskitt were the first people to be vaccinated against coronavirus at West Yorkshireâs first large vaccination centre
A couple who said they have stayed at home throughout the pandemic to make sure they were “100% safe” have described having the coronavirus vaccination as a “big weight off”.
Richard and Linda Poskitt received their vaccinations in Wakefield, at the first large-scale centre to open in West Yorkshire, on Tuesday morning and said it was a “great day”.
The couple said they both have underlying health conditions and have been shielding during the outbreak as they knew it would be “extremely serious” if they caught Covid-19.
