Lance said of the occasion: “I was honoured to be the first staff member to get the first dose of the jab and make a piece of history in this way. Twelve months on and three jabs later, I feel safe knowing that this winter I am protected.”

A year ago today on receiving the vaccine Lance told us: “My vaccine was administered by paramedic Ben Gibson, but there were a lot of nurses administering vaccines too.  I felt absolutely fine afterwards, no side effects whatsoever.  I was really pleased to be given the opportunity to get it so quickly.”
