Coronavirus vaccine centre opens in historic cathedral

A Covid-19 vaccination service has begun administering jabs at Lichfield Cathedral after being set up along its medieval nave. Britain’s oldest three-spired cathedral, in Staffordshire, was dubbed “the most glamorous vaccine centre in Britain” by the city’s MP. Field hospital-style facilities and waiting areas have been set up inside the cathedral, including along its central aisle. The Dean of Lichfield, the Very Rev Adrian Dorber, said people working at the centre were “buzzing” – with volunteers glad to help out.
