Vaccinations at RBWH50,000 Vaccinations at RBWH 

The RBWH COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic team recently celebrated administering 50,000 vaccinations! RBWH Immunisation Program Nurse Kirsten Smith provided the 50,000th COVID-19 vaccination to Zion Ahn, and said that reaching this milestone is a reflection of the great service the team are offering to Queenslanders.

“It’s not about just getting one person vaccinated… when they get vaccinated it protects not only themselves, but everyone around them. Reaching 50,000 is great, and hopefully we can hit another 50,000!”

Well done to the entire team who has continually gone above and beyond to help protect our community.

As a reward to the teams who achieved higher than a 75 per cent response rate in the Have Your Say survey, teams throughout RBWH enjoyed a delicious pizza lunch or hamper full of goodies.

The Post Anaesthetic Care Unit team loved their lunch, hand delivered by Deputy Executive Director Gillian Nasato. Well done to everyone who completed the survey and contributed to positive improvements for RBWH!
