First COVID-19 Vaccine Administered

On December 8, 2020, history was made as the world watched with bated breath. In a small hospital in Coventry, England, 90-year-old Margaret Keenan became the first person to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine outside of clinical trials. This momentous event marked the beginning of a global vaccination campaign against a virus that had brought the world to its knees. As the needle pierced Margaret's arm, hope pierced the hearts of millions worldwide. The swift development of this vaccine, achieved in less than a year, was nothing short of a scientific miracle. It signaled the start of a new chapter in our fight against the pandemic, offering a glimmer of light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.
