More than 300 people received their COVID-19 vaccination today at Ludlow Racecourse.
72-year-old Malcolm Bunn from the town was the first to be vaccinated.
The retired retired technician with Severn Trent Water says he is looking forward to going on a cruise with his wife when the pandemic is over.
Shropshire Council said it expected vaccinations were given to 300 people at the site today, with that number rising to 520 a day from tomorrow.
Ludlow MP Philip Dunne said: "This is a great day for Shropshire. We've had some difficult days and it has been slow to get going during January, but now everyone is doing fantastically well in getting over 80s vaccinated."
