Covid-19 booster vaccines: Prime Minister holds hands with an 84-year-old grandmother

Scott Morrison has received his Covid-19 booster vaccine alongside the first Australian to get vaccinated.

The Prime Minister was jabbed at the same time as 84-year-old Jane Malysiak, who migrated to Australia from Poland after World War II.

The grandmother hit headlines for accidentally swearing at the cameras while trying to make a peace sign after her first jab at Castle Hill Medical Centre in Sydney’s north-west in February. 

After receiving their booster shots, Mr Morrison and Ms Malysiak walked into a waiting room for 15 minutes of observation.  

The Prime Minister said ‘take my hand’ as Ms Malysiak got up from her chair and the pair walked arm in arm.

All Australians over 18 can get a booster shot at least six months after their second dose. 

The booster is Pfizer regardless of which vaccine the patient took before.

After her first vaccination in February Ms Malysiak was posing for photos when Mr Morrison encouraged her to give a peace sign for the cameras, telling her it means ‘V for vaccine’.

But Ms Malysiak inadvertently threw up the universal sign for ‘up yours’ by turning her hand the other way around. 

Photographers, health workers and reporters erupted into laughter, before Mr Morrison quickly pushed Ms Malysiak’s hand down, jokingly telling her ‘always front, always front’.
