Industry figures are leading the way in getting vaccinated against COVID-19, many of them announcing the occasion of double vax via social media. AdNews asked them about their motivation and experiences.
Anathea Ruys, CEO, UM Australia:
I just missed out on getting vaccinated before I left the US. Later on it opened up so much in April and May that my sons, who are still in the US, got vaccinated at 14 and 17.
I was really excited to find a local doctor in Sydney who was offering AZ at the end of May.
I brought my second jab forward to mid-July to make sure I was protected against delta. From my time in the US where Covid was so present I know many people who had Covid, some very badly and are still suffering from the consequences.
I shed a few tears of relief and gratitude when I got the jabs. I am very much in the camp of “the best jab to get is the jab you CAN get”.
