Clinic follows successful first pop-up
This weekend’s clinic follows a great community turnout at the VU Whitten Oval’s first clinic three weeks ago, when more than 2000 people rolled up their sleeves to get vaccinated.
The turn-out drew an impressive cross-section of the community, including those from CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) backgrounds, students, and the young and old.
Since getting vaccinated helps protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our community, this is a perfect opportunity to get vaccinated in a familiar, accessible location.
Rahmatullah Hossaini, a VU Bachelor of Laws/ Bachelor of Business student, participated in the first pop-up clinic.
He chose VU Whitten Oval because it was a great community initiative by the Western Bulldogs and VU.
Rahmatullah told media on the day that he was “eager to get back to campus, sport and cheering on the Western Bulldogs.”
