Jane Malysiak becomes Australia’s first recipient of the coronavirus vaccination
After surviving World War II in Europe and living in Australia for over 70 years, Jane Malysiak on Sunday took centre stage on the vaccination frontline, becoming the first Australian to receive the coronavirus jab.
Born in Kosimszko, a small town in Poland, she was taken to Germany as a three-year-old amid the fighting.
As a younger woman, Ms Malysiak ran a corner shop with her husband in the Sydney suburb of Earlwood.
Her two sons “don’t know I’m here”, she said, as she soaked up the busy event marking the vaccine’s entry into Australia.
She said she wasn’t scared of the vaccine and to give her “two shots of it”.
