William Shakespeare, the second person in the world to get the Pfizer-BioNTech jab has died of an unrelated illness.
He received his first Covid vaccine in December at University Hospital Coventry shortly after 91 year old Margaret.
Coventry councillor Jayne Innes, a friend of Mr Shakespeare, said he had died on Thursday and added the “best tribute to Bill is to have the jab”.
Mr Shakespeare had worked at Rolls-Royce and was a parish councillor.
