‘Losing mum and dad to Covid on same day changed my mind about vaccine’

A man whose parents died with Covid within an hour of each other has said he has 'no doubt' about getting vaccinated, having seen the impact it has had on his family. Graeme Carling, a businessman from Dundee, lost mum Margaret, 65, and dad Graeme, 66, in January last year. Speaking to STV News, Graeme explained that his parents did not have the opportunity to get the vaccine, with the rollout at that time being in its very early stages. And he admitted to having been in two minds initially about the vaccine, as they had not know of anyone that had been seriously affected by the virus.
