The Roald Dahl illustrator's posters are for children to colour while at Covid vaccine centres.
The artist Quentin Blake has donated two original drawings to encourage young children to have their Covid-19 vaccinations.
Blake is best known for his illustrations for Roald Dahl's books, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust has started offering vaccinations to children aged 5-11 at large-scale sites, including ones in Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich. The trust has come up with a number of initiatives to make the experience less frightening for young children, including a doctor dressed up as "Julian the jabbing lion", copies of the Quentin Blake drawing to colour in, games to play, and a cartoon video intended for children to watch before having their vaccinations.
Dr Rowan, who is one of the children's vaccinators at the Norwich centre, asked Blake if he could help out, and the artist produced the two drawings for the NHS trust.
