This photo is a picture of the sticker that the doctors would give out once you got your vaccine shot. My doctor peeled off the sticker and handed it to me, and I quickly put it on an old receipt in my bag because I wanted to keep it. Outside of the last few years, diseases often did not really play a role in 21st century Australia, but now the sticker shows how some people have a sense of pride around being vaccinated. My partners doctor placed the sticker directly onto his shirt, and he was quite happy to wear it the whole way home. In addition, the Victorian government logo on the bottom shows how the government is endorsing vaccinations for the public. HIST30060.
