He said:

"I'm feeling really well, it's so easy. Anybody who can, should get it as soon as they can. Everyone should obey the rules, it's the only way we are going to beat this virus. Please get your jab when it's offered to you, let's get rid of it this year."

"I feel much relieved and delighted to have had the vaccine. What a wonderful place to have it in. It is an inspiration to have it in the cathedral - to have it in this place of prayer where we come for hope and healing - that seems to me to be absolutely right."
