"I feel so privileged to be the first person vaccinated against COVID-19," she said.
"My advice to anyone offered the vaccine is to take it. If I can have it at 90, then you can have it too," she added.
The United Kingdom will continue to roll out vaccines across the country, with the over 80s, front-line workers, and care home staff first on the list.
