Western Health’s Annie Micallef has seen firsthand the impact of getting COVID-19, so the intensive care nurse had no hesitation in getting the COVID-19 vaccine last week.
The nurse was one of the first staff from across Western Health’s facilities to get the injection, as part of the nationwide roll out.
Ms Micallef said there was a relief that the injection program was finally here and they could start the process.
“The impact [of COVID-19] is real and it is one of the worst pneumonias or diseases I have seen,” she said.
“It was really trying time last year and I never want to see it again.
