Barwon Health Foundation<\/a> executive director Zoe Waters said the message was important.<\/p>\n\u201cThe effects of COVID-19 have been devastating across the globe and the impacts have certainly been felt here in Greater Geelong,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s great to see Phase A of the immunisation program has started here in our region for our frontline healthcare workers, public aged care residents and workers, and port of entry workers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Villawood message is an important reminder of the role we all play in keeping our community safe and my colleagues and I certainly look forward to being vaccinated when the vaccine becomes available for the broader community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Villawood has used its letters – which were previously located in its Wandana estate overlooking the Geelong Ring Road – to highlight several important social causes including driver safety, marriage equality and respect to indigenous awareness, refugee issues, mental health and domestic violence.<\/p>\n
Villawood executive director Rory Costelloe hoped this giant message would hit home.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know how devastating COVID is and just how important it is to safeguard ourselves and the community by getting vaccinated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019ve put these letters up along the Surf Coast Highway. People can\u2019t afford to be blas\u00e9 about this virus.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s particularly important for our frontline healthcare workers, who have been extraordinary in fighting the pandemic. They\u2019ve shown just how important they are to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
