Vaccine vials, masks: welcome to the first Covid collection, at London's Science Museum

Vial used to give Margaret Keenan the first non-trial dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is among items being used to document UK's response to pandemic

The vial of the first dose of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine to be used outside a trial - administered last Tuesday to 90-year-old Margaret Keenan from Coventry - has been added to a collection of artefacts documenting the pandemic.

The empty vial has been acquired by London's Science Museum as well as stay at home" signs from the daily Downing Street briefings, homemade masks and other items that curators believe will provide a record of the UK's response to the disease.
