Historic day as first Covid-19 vaccines delivered on Merseyside

The first vaccines against Covid-19 will be administered on Merseyside today. Hospital sites across our region will start to give people the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine that begins its national rollout today. The first batch of 800,000 doses of the vaccine are already being administered to top priority people - with 90-year-old Margaret Keenan the first person in the world to be vaccinated at the University Hospital in Coventry this morning. In Merseyside, the two main hospital sites where the vaccine will be delivered to people are Aintree Hospital and Clatterbridge Hospital in Wirral.
