Dialysis patient Brian Pinker, 82, has become
the first person to receive the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.
The retired maintenance manager got the jab at 7:30 GMT from nurse Sam Foster at Oxford's Churchill Hospital.
More than half a million doses of the vaccine are ready for use on Monday

The Oxford vaccine is a genetically modified common cold virus that used to infect chimpanzees.
It has been altered to stop it causing an infection in people
and to carry the blueprints for part of the coronavirus, known as the spike protein.
Once these blueprints are inside the body they start producing the coronavirus' spike protein,
which the immune system recognizes as a threat and tries to squash it.

“The manufacturers are doing a brilliant job, and they’re delivering to the schedule that’s agreed,
but that schedule is the amount of vaccine that we have ...
we expect to see that amount of vaccine being delivered going up.”
