A Soham couple who have not had contact with their nine children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren for months due to the panedmic were among the first to receive the Covid-19 vaccination.
Gladys Hatley, 87, and her husband Dick, 88, were the first people to get the vaccination at Staploe Medical Centre in Soham from Dr Richard Brixey.
Dick and Gladys, who have been married for 67 years, said: “We were very pleased to have it, and honoured that we were first.
