‘Fear virus more than injection’

Kit Gow’s advice to anyone fearful of having the vaccine is “the fear of contracting the virus must be greater than having the injection”.

The 83 year-old trained at Dunfermline College of Physical Education, and was a student in Aberdeen during the Asian Flu pandemic of 1957.

“My main memory of that was taking medication and food to those lying in bed.

“Most of those in the residence were affected,” she recalls. Commenting on the lockdown, she continued: “My really big miss is seeing the family although we speak and email.

“I will have the vaccine as soon as it is offered.”
