Care home residents receive Oxford Covid-19 vaccine A WW2 widow, Royal Navy veteran and Army veteran were among care home residents in High Wycombe to receive their Covid-19 vaccines. Ena Mitchell, Harold Cooper and Jim Pitt, at the Royal Star & Garter, received the Oxford AstraZeneca jab last Monday (January 11). Among the residents receiving the first of their two injections was 102-year-old Mrs Mitchell, whose husband was killed in Belgium in 1944. She said: “I’m honoured to be among the first to get the vaccine, and even more so that it’s the Oxford vaccine, as I’m from Oxford.” Mr Cooper, 92, who served in the Army, said: “It didn’t feel like anything at all. I’m happy it’s been done now,” while Mr Pitt, 76, who travelled the world during his 12 years in the Royal Navy, added: “It’s nothing compared to the yellow fever vaccine.”

The “Ole One” (a longtime term of affection) had an awkward and unique gait, yet he always seemed to manage to get from one place to another, occasionally without getting lost and being on time.
