Morrison, wearing an Australian flag mask, sat next to Malysiak as she received the jab. “Yes I’m happy to receive it,” she said. Morrison then encouraged her to do a ‘V’ for vaccine hand gesture. The 84-year-old was one of two aged care residents to receive the vaccination today, along with aged care staff and disability care staff and residents.
Malysiak, born in Poland, was taken to Germany when she was three years old, and moved to Australia with her mother when aged 13.
Morrison – the 12th member of the group to receive the vaccine at a televised event in Sydney – described it as a “curtain raiser” for the formal start of the vaccine rollout on Monday.
