Since the vaccination clinic was established in South Morang, we have also seen the dedicated Northern Health volunteers, volunteer coordinators and Melbourne Polytechnic students who have been there helping, rain, hail or shine. Volunteers greet community members as they arrive to make them feel welcome, assist them with checking in, direct them to where they need to go and help answer any questions they may have. So on behalf of myself, the government and the wider community, thank you for your contribution to helping keep us safe.
I want to also express my deep appreciation to my constituents who have come forward to get vaccinated. We all know that this pandemic has been hard, and it is clear that the COVID vaccination is our best tool for beating this. So thank you for stepping up and making the choice to protect yourselves, your loved ones and our wider community.
