'I will be better protected as a result.'
The world watched as the NHS made history, delivering the world’s first approved COVID-19 vaccine to Maggie Keenan almost 18 months ago. Today, Maggie joins two million people who have now had their spring COVID-19 booster jab!
Thank you to our NHS colleagues and volunteers who have given their time up to help deliver 214,000 COVID-19 vaccines over the festive period — including over 184,000 booster jabs!
If you haven't had your booster vaccine yet — book online. #GetBoostedNow https://t.co/L5h60694Sr
One year ago, Maggie became the first person in the world to have the COVID-19 vaccine outside of a trial — and she's now urging everyone to do the same. 💙
Thank you to the millions who have had their jabs so far, and our NHS colleagues who have delivered them.

Dr @NikkiKF shares her personal experience in needing to reach all communities about the importance of getting both doses of the #NHSCOVIDVaccine.
More than 700,000 #NHSCOVIDVaccine appointments were booked on the day that all adults became eligible for the vaccine — that's more than eight every second! 😲

There were more than one million bookings for an #NHSCOVIDVaccine yesterday — a record high.

A #Glastonbury style grab for jabs yesterday as over one million people booked appointments on the day vaccines opened to 25 to 29 year olds 👌🏼 https://t.co/9KkmhwXAuf
NHS England report “Glastonbury style” rush for vaccine bookings after opening up to 25 and over this morning: “by 12pm, just five hours after eligibility widened there were 2.5 times the number of total appointments made yesterday, with 493,000 slots reserved”
NHS England’s Dr Nikki Kanani tells #BBCBreakfast it’s ‘incredible’ to be able to offer 25 to 29-year-olds in England their first coronavirus jab, six months to do the day since the very first person in the world was given a vaccine outside of trials.

Since announcing that world first jab, and all the major milestones in between, today 6 months on 25-29 yr olds are eligible💉that’s me🎉 It has been an absolute pleasure working with some of the incredible people behind the vaccination drive @Emily_JR_Lawson@NikkiKF@Kane2Kane
We're thrilled to see a sharp rise in people saying yes to the life-saving #NHSCOVIDVaccine — with the number of people under 45 who would get the jab increasing by more than a fifth.
If you're eligible, your vaccine is waiting for you.
