2021-10-21HIST30060 Vaccine Sticker
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. -
2021-10-21HIST30060 Melbourne Convention Centre Post-Vaccine Area
This photo shows the waiting area that the public was directed to after receiving their vaccine doses. When I was being walked over, my doctor told me to wait fifteen minutes, and if I felt ill during that time period I should sit on the floor and raise my hand. The chairs were stuck to the ground about six feet apart. There was a much larger section of chairs behind me, but I did not want to photograph anyone without their consent, even though everyone had masks on. Once your fifteen minutes were up, there was a desk at the front of the room with staff to double check that you felt alright as well as validating parking if needed. HIST30060. -
2021-10-21HIST30060 Melbourne Convention Centre Screenshot Check-In
This is a screenshot from my iPhone when I checked into the Melbourne Convention Centre for my second dose of the vaccine. Throughout the Convention Centre, there were several lines with staff directing where to check in, what lines to go into for various brands of the vaccine, as well as a more personal data like ID and Medicare cards. This screenshot shows one of the check points, where staff would direct you to sign in, wait patiently, and then once you showed them the green checkmark, would then allow you to move onwards. At the bottom of the screenshot, there is a prompt directing me to “get the full app” of Service Victoria on my phone, even though I already had it installed. HIST30060. -
2021-10-21HIST30060 Melbourne Convention Centre QR Check-In
This is a picture of one of the QR codes inside the Melbourne Convention Centre that one had to sign in while getting their vaccine. Each person was directed to pull out their personal phone and sign in individually. There were 2 QR codes to sign into, with staff standing nearby to direct the public in what to do as well as double check the confirmation. The QR code outside of the centre would lead to a short survey, with questions such as “Do you have any symptoms of COVID?” or “Have you been to any of the latest COVID hotspots?” This QR code in particular is to confirm that the person has signed into the physical place of the Melbourne Convention Centre.

2021-10-21HIST30060 Melbourne Convention Centre
This is a picture of the outside of the Melbourne Convention Centre while crossing the Yarra, where I received my second dose of AstraZeneca COVID vaccine on 12:30pm October 21st, 2021. When I had received the first dose on August 27th, a line had wrapped around the building of at least a hundred people walking in to receive Pfizer. However, by this date, you can see by the photo that there were far fewer people waiting to receive their second dose. Even though I was half an hour early to my appointment, there were so few people that the staff waved me through without any problems. The whole time I was inside the convention centre, I probably saw only twenty people, excluding staff. HIST30060.
