COVID-19 vaccinations
Mr FREGON (Mount Waverley) (10:06): I rise to also acknowledge the collective efforts and resilience of all Victorians over the past number of months, who have yet again changed the course of these outbreaks for us. As a community we have done what many in the world have not been able to achieve and beaten back to what is now another doughnut day. On Saturday we hit a significant milestone—1 million Victorians are now fully vaccinated, with just over 2.2 million having received their first dose of either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine. Our Victorian GPs, our nurses, our vaccine hubs and all their workers, our Aboriginal community health organisations and our pharmacists and all their workers are all playing a vital role in getting Victoria—and especially for me, our electorate of Mount Waverley district—vaccinated. And that is our way out of this.
