Residents at care homes are among the first to get the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine in Devon and Cornwall.
Laura Westaway, a care home manager in Cornwall, said: To be part of the rollout means more than words can describe .
The coronavirus jab will also be rolled out across GP surgeries, and people will be contacted according to advised priority groups.
