Conor Lane, an Irishman living in London who has written in The Irish Times about being treated for Ewingâs sarcoma, describes getting his first dose of the Pfizer jab On February 9th my phone buzzed with one of the greatest texts Iâm likely to receive. It was a message from my GP, in Covent Garden in central London, asking me to call to book my vaccination slot. All going well, Iâd be getting a jab in two days. I rang the surgery to accept and was told the vaccination centre would get back to me with an appointment.
