A 91-year-old British man who became an internet sensation after being interviewed following his first dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine has received the required second jab.
Martin Kenyon said on Tuesday that he had his second and final shot of the vaccine on December 29, as previously arranged with Guy’s Hospital, in London.
The grandfather said he is in good health and still in awe of just how much attention he keeps receiving over his vaccination, calling it “nonsense.”
Kenyon had his first vaccine on December 8, when the UK became the first country to begin vaccinating its citizens with a fully vetted and authorized Covid-19 shot, marking a landmark moment in the coronavirus pandemic.

Kenyon’s rise to fame came just minutes after receiving his first injection, following an interview outside Guy’s Hospital, which later went viral.
He said at the time: “I hope I am not going to have the bloody bug now. I don’t intend to have it [coronavirus] because I’ve got granddaughters and I want to live a long time to enjoy their lives.”
The British man added: “There’s no point dying now when I’ve lived this long.
