Frankston sisters do it for themselves – and community!

Published on 22 June 2021

Frankston sisters Jeanni and Jude were all smiles – under their masks – after getting their COVID vaccinations at the Bruce Park Clinic.

The sisters said they were keen to get the jab for themselves, their families and the community.

Jude said: “It’s was important for us to get vaccinated to protect and support each other, our family and friends. We love spending time with our grandchildren and want to ensure we continue to play an active part in their life.”

The sisters, who had initially been reluctant, praised Bruce Park Clinic staff for being reassuring and answering all their questions.

Jude said: “The staff at Bruce Park Hall were excellent and we felt confident with our decision.”

Jude urged those unsure or hesitant about vaccination to be confident it was both in their best interests and that of the community, adding: “Nobody wants to put themselves, loved ones or the community at risk. We have the power to protect those that matter and beat this virus.”

Frankston City Council Mayor Kris Bolam praised the sisters for getting vaccinated, adding: “Doing so is also the best way to protect yourself, your family and your community from COVID-19 and for all of us to return to the life we know and love.” 

The Mayor urged all eligible members of the community book appointments for their free and voluntary COVID-19 vaccinations.

Mayor Bolam noted that vaccination has social and economic benefits and the greater the number of people vaccinated, the better protected our community will be from further outbreaks and virus mutations.
