Joyce Green, 101, who had her first jab last Friday (January 8) at Dore Medical Surgery said she was immensely proud to be number one but she was extra proud to have received it before the Queen herself did.
"I even had it before the Queen!" she said.
Queen Elizabeth has reportedly received the first dose of coronavirus vaccination on Saturday, a day after Joyce received hers.

Hide AdBroomgrove Manager Donna Pierpoint said it was a fantastic feeling to finally start to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
“Though it’s early days and we’ve all got to have a second jab in a few weeks time, it felt like a weight had been lifted from us. The jab was totally painless and the whole operation was incredibly well managed by NHS staff.
“We all felt well after and I would absolutely encourage anyone and everyone to have the vaccine,” she said.
A total of 30 care home residents and 50 staff have now received their first jabs at the local medical surgery.
