Vaccination Badge (HIST30060)

(HIST30060) This is a photo of the badge I received after getting my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. I currently work as a medical receptionist at a GP clinic that has been running vaccination sessions – this is where I was vaccinated and received the badge. The badge reads: ‘Arm yourself against COVID-19…I got vaccinated’. The badge is colourful and eye-catching, and the pun is…punchy. I think it acutely captures the typography, tone and gist of the recent government advertisements urging people to get the vaccine.
