A video has been shared online showing the second person in the UK to receive a coronavirus vaccine.
William Shakespeare, 81, of Warwickshire was filmed getting a Pfizer-BioNTech jab at University Hospital Coventry on Tuesday morning.
Many Twitterians struggled to hold back after the learning that he shares a name with the world's most famous playwright, peppering the internet with jokes recollecting popular lines from (the late) William Shakespeare's greatest works.
However, Twitter's more sceptical users slammed the apparent name coincidence as a PR stunt designed to increase media coverage of the UK government's vaccination plan.
