Fair Isle is a small piece of land surrounded by the open ocean and steep cliffs and sloping fields, and only 45 people live in it, they went to a small building used as a medical office to get their vaccine doses and this is where Nurse Margaret works, and helps residents receive the vaccine.

Margaret Cooper, a Shetland NHS nurse, told CNN, "Immunization is the proudest chapter of her 50-year nursing career, and it's an honor to be able to be part of the immunization program and to feel like she's making a critical contribution to an unprecedented operation that saves lives." Lives and freedoms are restored everywhere in the UK.
