Covid: Woman who lived through Spanish Flu gets vaccine

A 103-year-old woman, who had already lived through one global pandemic, has received her first dose of the Covid vaccine.

Hilda Richards, from Wrexham, who was just a young child during the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918, also served as a nurse during World War Two.

She had initially gone into a care home for two weeks, but when Covid hit, she stayed there.

After having her jab she said she “felt good”.
