A HAIRDRESSER volunteered to help as 1,000 elderly residents received their second Pfizer Covid jab. Suzanne McKevitt, who is on furlough from The Hair Shop in Northwich, acted as a marshal as GPs administered the vaccination at Dene Drive Primary Care Centre in Winsford. The 49-year-old joined a team of 14 volunteers to look after residents aged over 80 as they attended the clinic. I ended up in the marquee tent where everyone had to wait for 15 minutes after they had the vaccine, said Suzanne, who lives in Winsford. I m a people s person so I absolutely loved it. It was brilliant. There was a great sense of camaraderie.
