Nurse Zoe Park was among the first Australians to receive the coronavirus vaccine and said she “hardly felt” the needle going in, and that it hurt less than the flu shot. coronavirus covid19 vaccine Pfizer

A nurse treating COVID-19 positive patients on the Gold Coast said the start of the vaccine campaign on Monday marked a day of hope for Australia.

“I am just happy that maybe we can look at moving to other countries, maybe we can be travelling again and start to live a normal life.“So I think people should get this injection and it will just be another layer of protection and to keep Australia in its amazing position.” Each of the first half-dozen people to be vaccinated against COVID in Queensland have encouraged others to roll up their sleeves when their time comes.

Kyle Certeza, a nurse who works in quarantine hotels, said the vaccine made him feel “100 per cent” more safe going to work. “I’ve seen families be torn apart from it, it’s really sad what it’s done to the patients affected and families,” she said.

Thank you guinea pigs! They should be paying you for the experimental shot. If they’re still alive and well in 10 years I might get one too 👍

Good on you Zoe ...

14 days for adverse events reporting. Reduced from 30 days c/- John -The Lying Rodent- Howard

Let's hope that she didn't want to have healthy children in the future.... Why would you jump at the chance to get injected with some weird mrna 'vaccine' that has been rushed through. They will also keep trotting out new 'strains' so will require never ending 'jabs'

Wait till she get the 2nd shot. Also, I hope we get the coverage for every single person who gets the shot. It'll be interesting to see the side effects pile on.

Vaccines mean COVID-19 can be treated as a 'bad flu': PM | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison has pointed to an Australia where COVID-19 is regarded as a 'bad flu' as the nation's vaccine rollout continues, with more than 100,000 shots administered nationally.\n\nSpeaking at the AFR summit today, Mr Morrison said scientific evidence from Israel and the UK on vaccine efficacy was 'very, very encouraging'.\n\n'Especially the ability of vaccines to prevent serious and severe illness and transmission,' he said.\n\n'In other words, with sufficient vaccination of the population, we can start treating COVID-19 like a bad flu.'\n\nSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said the prime minister and his departmental secretary Phil Gaetjens were working on a report to convince state premiers to ensure state borders remained open. \n\n'A long way to go... so far successful, certainly in terms of no ill health effects. I guess the question is, is it going at the pace they want? That will be the question answered over the next couple months,' he said.
