What do you mean ? He is not dead ? Obviously it has, since 1616, but it was William Shakespeare, its namesake, who was the second person to receive the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech in the United Kingdom.
Since Tuesday, December 8, the United Kingdom has launched its vaccination campaign against the Covid-19. In a hospital in Coventry, in central England, Margaret Keenan, a 90-year-old Briton, became the first person in the world to receive the vaccine.
Same name, same county
A few minutes later, it was William Shakespeare, an 81-year-old Briton who was the second patient to receive the vaccine, as reported by the British media BBC . Obviously, he has nothing to do with his illustrious namesake playwright.
It made the media laugh anyway, because the story goes further, since the second vaccinated is also from the county of Warwickshire … As the one who is considered one of the greatest poets in history.
And since great stories never end, he was even born in Stratford-upon-Avon, the hometown of the illustrious author.
