Breathing a sigh of relief after receiving her first vaccination at the Qudos Bank Arena Vaccination Centre, the first of its kind in NSW, she says the outbreak has been stressful but now she “feels like I’m protecting myself, my family and Sydney”.
“It’s a relief that I’ll be able to sit my HSC. It’s been 13 years working up to this moment and it feels good to hopefully be able to sit my exams in person thanks to this vaccine,” she said.
