Filipina nurse May Parsons received a George Cross Award in Windsor Castle. She was the first nurse who administered the world's first COVID-19 vaccine.
The George Cross is the highest award given by the British Government to recognize “actions by civilians and military personnel not in the face of the enemy,” according to the Royal Family.
Parsons was the first nurse to administer the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine in December 2020.
She and other representatives were honored by Queen Elizabeth II with Prince Charles, Prince of Wales at the castle.
Parsons expressed gratitude for the award and to the facility for inspiring her to be the “best nurse” that she is.
She also acknowledged her colleagues for their hard work and dedication to the hospital as frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
