He said at the time: “I was just thinking, we’ve sat here right from start of all this [pandemic]. Who would have thought a year later… it’s miraculous the way our science works.”
“Yesterday, I had my vaccine after talking about it for a year. Booked online with the NHS. It’s so easy – easiest thing you will do. So simple.”
“I picked the time, day, suggestion of when second vaccine will be. The team were absolutely delightful, didn’t hurt at all. I feel great, yeah.”
“I had the Oxford [vaccine]. I’m waiting for the second one in 12 weeks’ time. My arm didn’t hurt, and it didn’t hurt going in. The whole experience was efficient, friendly – don’t be nervous!”
