Elderly patients lined the entrance to a hospital today as they became the first people in a Covid-hit Kent town to receive coronavirus vaccines.
The injections are being given to almost 1,000 over-80s at the Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital in Herne Bay.
The town currently has one of the highest infection rates in the country, and accounts for more than 40% of all new cases across the Canterbury district.
So the vaccination programme, which offers recipients 95% protection, cannot come soon enough.
Beltinge resident Winifred Prett, who was the first in the town to be jabbed this morning, is looking forward to going shopping once she receives the second dose of the vaccine in three weeksâ time.
