The Countess of Wessex has carried out her first shift as a St John Ambulance Care Volunteer at an NHS Vaccination centre in Greater London. 

Buckingham Palace shared photos of Sophie during her voluntary work on Thursday. The images showed the Countess recording the medical details of a member of the public as they prepared to have their vaccination, another citizen being handed a COVID-19 vaccination card and information leaflet by the Countess and a third photo of Sophie chatting with someone after being innoculated.
