Ms Cooke said: “I’ve had lots of nice chats with people. Some of them are actually quite emotional about getting vaccinated. Many had barely been outside for the better part of a year. They talk about it being a privilege – about feeling really lucky. It’s been quite interesting seeing the impact the vaccine is having on people, how it makes them feel somewhat safer. Ms Day said: “I’m thrilled to be volunteering, delighted. It feels really good to be part of a national effort and to be able to do something to contribute – I’m really excited about that. It’s really satisfying to know that we are supporting an important part of the vaccination process.
