“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.”
Holly added: “I remember that time we were saying the only way out was the vaccine. We were saying it could be 10 years’ development, never going to get out. Here we are a year – might even be under a year – and you’re done!”
Phillip said: “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!”
Holly admitted: “I can’t wait to have mine.”
Sharing a photo to his Instagram Stories after receiving the vaccine on Tuesday, Phillip said he was “painlessly jabbed up”.
He added: “That couldn’t have been any easier, more efficient or friendlier, thank you to Lisa and the team 🥰.”
