The first baby born under the NHS when it was just a minute old more than 70 years ago has had both of her Covid-19 vaccine jabs.
Now 72, Aneira Thomas was born at Glanamman hospital, Carmarthenshire, at 00:01 on 5 July, 1948, and named after NHS founder Aneurin Bevan.
The grandmother, who went on to become a nurse, received her second jab at Canolfan Gorseinon Centre.
She had felt nervous, having previously had severe reactions to drugs. [But] it went very well, although I lost sleep over having the vaccine initially because I suffer from a severe allergic reaction to various drugs, Mrs Thomas said.
