Le premier accordéoniste au monde à être vacciné pour le covid est John Jones MBE – Grande Bretagneby Rob Howard |
 Le premier jour de vaccination anti-covid en Grande Bretagne, John Jones MBE a été le premier à se faire vacciner. L’hopital général de Macclesfield à Cheshire a proposé le vaccin à son personnel et ses volontaires et ce, grâce à des années de levée de fond à travers des concerts d’accordéon à l’hôpital, où John est volontaire. Son engagement sans limite pour la levée de fond en a fait une légende locale. Depuis que John est à la retraite de son métier d’ingénieur des ponts et chaussées en 1992, il a consacré la majeure partie de son temps à la levée de fonds pour diverses organisations à but non lucratif et en 2012 a reçu le MBE pour ses efforts à lever plus de £250,000. La cérémonie a eu lieu au Buckingham Palace sous l’égide de la princesse Anne. Photo à gauche avec le célèbre rappeur “Mist”.
