British woman first person to receive Covid-19 vaccine

A 90-year-old British woman has become the first person in the world to receive a coronavirus vaccine as the UK begins its mass vaccination programme.

Margaret Keenan was given the injection — the first of the 800,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to be rolled out in the coming weeks after Britain approved it last week — on Tuesday, making the UK the first country in the world to administer the drug against Covid-19.
