A 91-year-old grandmother who became the first person in the world to have the Pfizer vaccine as part of the mass vaccination rollout has praised “incredible” NHS staff and urged people to get their second dose.
The face of Margaret Keenan – known as Maggie – made news around the world in December last year after she was given the coronavirus jab at University Hospital Coventry.
In a Zoom call with NHS chief executive Sir Simon Stevens, the grandmother of four was asked what she would say to anyone feeling hesitant about getting a second jab.
Mrs Keenan replied: “I would be saying ‘go and get it, and get it now’.
