This afternoon, Lucy visited the Telford International Centre to receive her first coronavirus vaccine dose.
Lucy spoke to volunteers and nurses who are assisting with the local vaccine rollout and learned more about the progress of the programme from those on the frontline.
Commenting on her experience, Lucy Allan MP said:
"I was delighted today to receive my first dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.
The process was quick and simple and is a real testament to the fantastic work of our local volunteers who have contributed so much to the national effort against COVID. There was plenty of parking and a very short wait time prior to your appointment. I was made to feel very welcome by the brilliant staff and volunteers at the International Centre and was in and out within 30 minutes.
The jab was totally painless - I barely felt a thing. It is a real relief to have that first layer of protection against coronavirus and I look forward to receiving my second dose.
I encourage everyone to take up the vaccine when their time comes. They are our exit route out of the pandemic and provide protection for ourselves and those around us."
