Vaccination
Fred is a white British boy from the South West of England who was 10 years old at the time of the first national lockdown.
The day after Fred’s twelfth birthday he was vaccinated against covid-19. Fred worked on a series of collaborative exchanges through drawing with Helen, responding to her original drawing of a vaccinator. October 2021.

i touched fifty people today!
I had to work from home for a year now [in my new job and] I have yet to interact with people [in my new office, face to face – it has all been online]. The first time I came home from vaccinating - so I was doing the over 85s - I was like ‘I touched fifty people today!’. It was just old people’s arms but I physically touched other humans, it was amazing, like fifty of them!
Kristie identifies as White British and middle class. She is in her 20s, was born in the North East, and voted Remain in the referendum.
