Ms. Keenan received the vaccine Pfizer and BioNTech developed, for which The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency — the U.K.’s equivalent of the FDA — granted emergency use authorization Dec. 2. She got the shot at 6:31 a.m. local time at University Hospital in Coventry, England, according to the Washington Post.
“My advice to anyone offered the vaccine is to take it — if I can have it at 90, then you can have it, too,” Ms. Keenan said.
