A RETIRED home help was among the first people in the Lothians to receive a Covid-19 vaccine at the new drive-through mass vaccination centre at Queen Margaret University (QMU) in Musselburgh which opened today (Wednesday). The snow brought by Storm Darcy that has battered the county, dubbed ‘Beast from the East 2’, did not stop the centre opening this morning as planned. Mary Foster, from Musselburgh, was one of the first to receive a life-saving vaccine. She said: “I think this is great, I’m really excited and I think people who don’t want to be vaccinated should think again.”
