I'm proud and honoured to have worked alongside scientists like @briscoejames and medics to help vaccinate people in North London. It's been amazing to be part of the effort to tackle the pandemic.
13 Aug 2021
More than 350 people from the Crick and our partners have volunteered in our @uclh vaccination centre 💪💉📋
On the centre's last day, group leader @briscoejames reflects on his time as a vaccinator, and the stories (and arms) he'll remember. ow.ly/MQ8450FQvmL

It was a pleasure to welcome Prime Minister @BorisJohnson to the @uclh vaccination centre at the Crick today. 💉
He met with our director Paul Nurse and COO @SamBarrell1, and received his second dose of #COVID19 vaccine from Crick and @uclcancer clinician scientist @jrm_black.
