This week COVID-19 vaccinations began in Great Britain. Margaret Keenan, 90, became the first person to receive the new vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech at Guy’s Hospital in London. These are just a handful of photos taken during this unprecedented event.
The first man to receive a vaccine in the UK was an Englishman named William Shakespeare.
