The 90-year-old woman who became the first person to receive Pfizer's Covid jab as part of the UK's vaccination drive has now left hospital, gaining a few fans in the process.
Margaret Keenan turns 91 next week and described the vaccine as the best early birthday present she could have got.
She received global media coverage after receiving the vaccination.
Such is her celebrity status, Keenan was greeted outside by people wanting photos.
“Now I've done it and hopefully it will help other people to come around and do as I did,” she said after receiving the injection.
