A TALENTED 12-year-old Monmouthshire schoolboy is making an innovative device which, the school says, could well be used by the NHS to save lives in the UK’s fight against Covid-19. Ed Smith, a pupil at Monmouth School for Boys, is a budding inventor and believes his device - a wooden container to easily mix vaccine vials - could speed up the process of administering the life-saving Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine. Inspired by his GP parents, Peter and Sue Smith, who both work on the NHS frontline, Ed’s prototype - which he made out of Lego and then wood in his garage at home - can mix one hundred vials at one time.
