See how Dr Anne Hampton felt about being able to vaccinate her father
A doctor from Gloucestershire says the chance to personally vaccinate her father in his care home was too good an opportunity to turn down.
Dr Anne Hampton was Clinical Director for a group of GPs administering Covid-19 vaccines.
A video taken by her son Billy shows her seeing her father in Nailsworth for the first time in 10 months as she gave him the jab. She also vaccinated 21 other people.
Speaking to Good Morning Britain, Dr Hampton said she suddenly realised I could be part of the team going into his care home, to deliver the vaccine and it just felt like too good an opportunity to be with him for a brief moment, and to be able to touch him in a safe way .
The dad and daughter have been apart for ten months.
Dr. Hampton and his father, Chris, were only able to see each other through the window of the care home. That is why when the dad gets the COVID-19 vaccine, it was like a mini-reunion of the two.
Care facilities have been in lockdown since March because of the coronavirus pandemic. This was something that Dr. Hampton and her family did not expect to happen.

It was the first time Dr Anne Hampton, from Stroud, Gloucestershire, had been able to see her father, Chris, for ten months.
The film of him being vaccinated was taken by her son, 18-year-old Billy Arthur, who said it was an emotional thing to edit.
