UK (Times Media Mexico) – William Shakespeare, 81, became the first man in the world to receive Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine outside of clinical trials. Social networks echoed the patient’s curious identity, who shares the same first and last name as the famous British playwright.
Shakespeare, was inoculated against COVID-19 disease at Coventry University Hospital. In the same hospital, minutes earlier, 90-year-old Margaret Keenan received the Pfizer vaccine, which made her the first person in the world to be immunized with the American pharmaceutical trial.
After the second person’s name and surname to be vaccinated against the coronavirus became known, social networks exploded. Even the Secretary of Health of the United Kingdom, Matt Hancock, starred in a funny and emotional moment in a TV interview.

The puzzle remains…
“To be vaccinated or not to be vaccinated, that is the question.”
