He was only the second person in the world to get the jab.

William Shakespeare, the first man to get the Pfizer-BioNTech, has sadly passed away at the age of 81, of an illness unrelated to the vaccine Coventry councillor Jayne Innes, a friend of Mr Shakespeare, said he had died on Thursday and added the "best tribute to Bill is to have the jab". Shakespeare had worked at Rolls Royce and was a parish councillor. Ms Innes wrote in a post on Facebook: "Bill will be remembered for many things, including a taste for mischief."
