A 90 year old Irish granny has become the first person in the world to receive the Pfizer Bio-N-tech Covid-19 vaccine outside of a clinical trial.
Margaret Keenan, who's from Enniskillen, had the injection at University Hospital Coventry at around 6.30 this morning.
Afterwards she said she felt 'good' - and has this message for anyone with doubts about whether to have the jab.
"I say go for it, go for it.
"It's free, it's the best thing that's ever happened.
"Do please go for it. If I can do it so can you."
