| 90-year-old Margaret Keenan, the first patient in the UK to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, at University Hospital, |
Margaret Keenan a 90 year old woman has become the first person in the world to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine outside of a clinical trial .
United Kingdom began rolling out the COVID-19 vaccine on 8th December 2020 dubbed “V-Day”, the first Western country to start vaccinating its general population .
On 5th December 2020 Russia began vaccinating thousands of doctors, teachers and others at dozens of centres in Moscow with its Sputnik V vaccine. That programme is being viewed differently because Russia authorised use of Sputnik V last summer after it was tested in only a few dozen people.
The UK has recorded 61,000 COVID-19 related deaths – more than any other
country has reported in Europe, and over 1.7 million cases .
