A 98-year-old man became the first person in Bristol to receive the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine outside of a trial on Tuesday as vaccines began to be administered across the country. The man, named only as Jack, gave the thumbs up and cheered after a nurse injected him at Southmead hospital. 'I suppose there was a bit of excitement,' he said describing the moment he was informed he would receive the jab. 'I thought yes, to advertise it, if anything.'
