Receiving the Covid-19 vaccine was a "pleasant, quick and painless" experience for local MP Jamie Stone – and now he is urging everyone else to make sure they don't miss out on a jab.
The 66-year-old Liberal Democrat MP for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross was given his first dose this afternoon. The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine was administered by NHS staff at Tain Health Centre.
Mr Stone said afterwards: “When I received the call from my local health centre inviting me to come and be vaccinated, I couldn’t book my appointment fast enough.
"I am in awe at the efficiency of NHS professionals when it comes to administering these jags. My experience was pleasant, quick and painless.
"For the meantime, we must all continue to follow government guidelines, so as to keep ourselves and others safe and to reduce the risk of virus mutation.
"I strongly urge everyone to take up the offer to receive the vaccine, which has passed through meticulous and comprehensive safety testing. One tiny pinch throws a mighty punch when it comes to battling this terrible virus.”
