Andrew takes Mum for her first Covid vaccination, and dedicates the diary to two very special people who weren’t so lucky

Breakfast on BBC Radio Leeds

Available for over a year

Mum's 84 and gets the call for her first jab. Andrew takes her to the vaccination centre and watches her wince as the needle goes in! But it's a week of mixed emotions. He pays tribute to two special people who weren't so lucky - his partner's parents. Her father died from Covid-19 before Christmas and, as Andrew records the diary, her mother is seriously ill with the virus. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
