Telegraph, 08 Dec 2020
Boris Johnson has hailed the roll out of the first doses of a Covid-19 vaccine, calling it "amazing".
The Prime Minister said it was "very, very exciting" to meet some of the first people to be vaccinated against coronavirus.
Speaking at the vaccination centre at Guy's Hospital in London on Tuesday, he said it was moving to talk to Lyn Wheeler, who was the first to receive the vaccine there.
"It was very, very exciting just to talk to Lyn about the vaccine that she has just taken," he said.
"She is 81 and it is really very moving to hear her say she is doing it for Britain, which is exactly right - she is protecting herself but also helping to protect the entire country."
