COVID-19: WWII veteran among first Chelsea Pensioners to get vaccine

A Second World War veteran has become one of the first of the Chelsea Pensioners to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

Lance Corporal Bob Sullivan, aged 98, says he feels “lucky” to be one of the first to be vaccinated, and is looking forward to hugging his five children.

But as the vaccine is rolled out across the UK, questions remain over its availability – and whether there is any way to speed up the process.
